No.  DNs are not attributes.  Filter assertions, even
extensible matching rule assertions, act upon attributes.

Note: some servers might maintain operational attributes
which contain a copy of the entry's DN.  Values of these
attributes can be matched using filters.  However, I'm
not sure how one would do substring matching against a
DN value.  While DN values have string representations,
the DN syntax is not a string data type.
