parameter problem

[Klaus Boehm]

I have this line in my sourcecode.


s = l.search_s("ou=xxxxx, o=xxx", ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, gecos,
attrlist=['uidnumber','gidnumber','uid'], attrsonly=0)

and i want pass the parameter filterstring as a variable(gecos) from
another programm(Website).
But i get an error:             "ldap.FILTER_ERROR: {'desc': 'Bad search
filter'}"

What can i do to avoid this error?

Thanks for help.

Klaus
