Not able to get group name by using memberof class, getting Total groups as 0 even I am member of that group.

Question

Not able to get group name by using memberof class, getting Total groups as 0 even I am member of that group. Through this memberof class I am trying to find full qualified name(DN) of my group.
code I have used:
//specify the LDAP search filter
               String searchFilter = "(&(objectClass=user)(CN=Username))";
               //Specify the Base for the search
               String searchBase = "";
Also I have used,
             String searchFilter = "(&(objectClass=user)(CN=Username))";
               //Specify the Base for the search
               String searchBase = "ou=ibmgroups,o=ibm.com";
But in both cases I am getting value for Total groups as 0.
