How to quickly check if a plugin has been configured to run under a specific user account ?

Environment

Client Automation - All Versions

Resolution

1. Execute following command on the machine : 
   dsmdiag -c dsmdiag.txt
   
   
2. Open file dsmdiag.txt with a text editor and look for string 
   <parameter name="pluginusername"
   
   Example 1 :
   sdagent plugin has not user/password set (values pluginusername and pluginpassword are empty). So Local System Account is used for this plugin
   

   <paramsection name="sdagent">
   ...
   <parameter name="pluginpassword" value="" entity="Client">
   <attribute name="write">agent</attribute>
   </parameter>
   <parameter name="pluginusername" value="" entity="Client">
   <attribute name="write">agent</attribute>
   </parameter>

   
   Example 2 :
   sdagent plugin is running with a specific user (<computername>\<username>) :
   

   <paramsection name="sdagent">
   ...
   <parameter name="pluginpassword" value="<pwd_encrypted>" entity="Client">
   <attribute name="write">agent</attribute>
   </parameter>
   <parameter name="pluginusername" value="<computername>\<username>" entity="Client">
   <attribute name="write">agent</attribute>
   </parameter>

   .
3. Research of string could be repeated to find configuration of all plugins.
