According to your mail, you are using a wrong attribute type;
you should filter for

'(eeadminattach=cn=Ouest,dc=easter-eggs,dc=com)'

I guess commas are separating rdns, so you don't need to escape
them. Note that if you use

"attr=value\,attr=value"

it is likely the shell is eating your escapes; you'd rather use

'attr=value\,attr=value'
