[erlang-questions] Question about eldap - substring filter

[Michael Loftis]

Can't offer any specific eldap advice, but, it's very likely that your
LDAP Schema won't even allow a substring match there as the normal
posixAccount schema will usually only specify equality matches.
You'll need to change your LDAP server schema in order to allow a
substring match in addition to equality matches.
