This is actually OpenLDAP 2.3.20, but I suspect it's a general question.

Can the DN be used in a filter, like any attribute?  In other words,
something like "(dn=dc=au*)"?  Yes, I know there's a better way to do
that  particular search, but I'm asking whether "dn:" can be treated like
an  attribute; my tests so far suggest that it cannot.

Here's an actual example:

% ldapsearch -LLL -b "dc=coreng,dc=com,dc=au" -H "ldap://ldap.ci.com.au"; \
  "(&(objectclass=posixaccount)(dn=dc=coreng,dc=com,dc=au))" uid

In OpenLDAP, you can use the generalized matching rules in filters to do what you want to accomplish. See the "slapcat" man page for an example.
