Of course I made a typing mistake. What I tried was:
eeadminattach=cn=Ouest,dc=easter-eggs,dc=com
eeadminattach=cn=Ouest\,dc=easter-eggs\,dc=com

It didn't work, and I don't know why.

I escaped the commas, because I didn't know what to do.

I wonder if there is a special syntax to make search with
attribute which are 'DN typed'. So I ask the question to this
mailing list, hoping to have an answer.
