search users in IS java service

Hi,
We have some services that we use to search to which roles a user belongs to.


	String	searchName = "a";
	String	directoryServiceName = "system";
	//String	directoryServiceName = "LDAP";
	int	maxResults = 100;

	IDirectorySession session = DirectorySystemFactory.getDirectorySystem().createSession();
			
	List<IDirectoryService> serviceList = session.listDirectoryServices();

	String directoryId =""; 
	for(int i=0; i<serviceList.size(); i++){ 
		IDirectoryService serv = (IDirectoryService)serviceList.get(i); 
		if(serv.getName().equals(directoryServiceName)) { 
			directoryId = serv.getID(); 
		} 
	} 

	IDirectoryPagingCookie cookie = session.createPagingCookie(directoryId);

	cookie.setPageSize(maxResults+1);
	cookie.setStart(1);

	DirectorySearchQuery searchQuery = new DirectorySearchQuery("*" + searchName  + "*", maxResults + 1, null); 
	List<IDirectoryPrincipal> principalList = session.searchDirectory(directoryId, IDirectoryPrincipal.TYPE_USER, searchQuery, cookie);
			
	log("principalList.size(): "+principalList.size());

When directoryServiceName is LDAP the search returns the users correcly, but for directoryServiceName=system no user is returned.

Even if we have manually created users in the MWS > Administration > Roles GUI.

Can you please tell us what is wrong in this sample code. I could not find on the SAG documentation clear samples of searches.

br,
