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.
