Searching a user using IUserFactory in KM.

Question

HI all,
I am searching users on their Display name and their User Ids.
I am using the following :
filter.<b>setDisplayName</b>(str,ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR,false);
result1 = userFactory.searchUsers(filter);
filterNext.<b>setUniqueName</b>(str,ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR,false);
result2 = userFactory.searchUsers(filterNext);
I have a User ID "1001" and the display name of this user id is "ABC".
Now if i enter "1001" in the text box for Dispaly name,it still returns me this user.
Could someone pls tell me why it is happening like that.
If i m setting the display name with the user id and then searching, then i  should not get any value.
Pls help ppl.
Kind Regards
Saurabh

Try this code.
public void GrantRole(String userLogin,String roleName) {
try
String userKey=getUserKey(userLogin);
String roleKey=getRoleKey(roleName);
RoleManager roleMgr = oimClient.getService(RoleManager.class);
Set<String> userKeys = new HashSet<String>();
userKeys.add(userKey);
RoleManagerResult result = roleMgr.grantRole(roleKey, userKeys);
System.out.println("Status:"+result.getStatus());
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public String getRoleKey(String roleName)
String roleKey = null;
try
RoleManager roleMgr = oimClient.getService(RoleManager.class);
List<Role> roles = null;
SearchCriteria criteria = null;
criteria = new SearchCriteria(RoleManagerConstants.ROLE_NAME, roleName, SearchCriteria.Operator.EQUAL);
roles = roleMgr.search(criteria, null, null);
roleKey = (String)roles.get(0).getAttribute(RoleManagerConstants.ROLE_KEY);
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return roleKey;
public String getUserKey(String userName) throws Exception
UserManager usrService = oimClient.getService(UserManager.class);
User user = usrService.getDetails("User Login", userName, null);
String userKey=user.getAttribute("usr_key").toString();
return userKey;
}
