#find_all_by_identification_string(identification_string) ⇒ Object

Find all users where the identification string matches one of the attributes given by ‘attributes_used_for_identification`.

This method returns an array of users matching the given login string. In contrast to ‘self.identify`, this returns an array, whereas `self.identify` returns a user object if the match was unique.
