ldapsearch - how to filter by whenCreated attribute

Hello,

I have this ldapsearch that returns  10's of thousands of records. 

 

 

| ldapsearch search=(&(objectClass=User)(!(objectClass=computer))) 

 

 

I want to filter on the whenCreated attribute to return new users in the past 7 days, sliding window. Is it possible to perform filtering by one or more attributes on the ldapsearch command line? I know I can use Splunk evals after  the ldapsearch command to do this.
Thanks and God bless,
Genesius

According to the docs at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SA-LdapSearch/3.0.3/User/Theldapsearchcommand, the argument to the search option can be any RFC 2554-compliant string, which should include whenCreated.
