Why do you want to do wildcard searches? This is not guaranteed to work 
since some of the member attributes might not even have a SUBSTR 
matching rule assigned.

No it's not.

And for security reasons you should really stay away from wildcard 
searches when doing group evaluation! That's a security mechanism and 
therefore your code MUST be as exact as possible!
