[vmchecker-dev] LDAP passwords with ';'

[Szekeres Adriana]

Hi guys,

I think I forgot some parentheses in the search filter, sry. It should do the trick for the characters you mentioned but there are other characters that must be considered: *, ), (, \ 

I'll try to solve this. In the meantime, Lucian, please replace
line 26 in websutil.py on elf.cs

with:
searchFilter = '(uid=' + credentials['username'] + ')'

10x
