It's not really using an attribute as your Base DN. The starting point for a search can be SID, GUID or DN.
It works as Jimmy describes below.

If this worked for you I really would like to know how you did it.

My query looks like this: (&(ObjectCategory=user)(SamAccountName=*)(ObjectSID=S15-2-4-3412341341234124 32412344)) Doesn't return anything. I know the sid must converted but I am not sure what format it should be in.
