Hi Axton - in our (user) log those two lines are appearing multiple times a 
second - any idea why?  Seems to only be occuring on one server which leads me 
to believe it's possibly a conf setting of some sort.

** I see the same thing on our system.  The calls are on queue 390620, same as 
yours.  We have private queues defined for the following subsystems, so that 
rules them out, unless they don't work as advertised: 



390601 Alert 
390603 Escalation 
390620 Fast 
390621 AREASM Plugin (arapi) 
390622 Flashboards 
390623 Email Engine 
390624 MidTier 
390635 List 
390680 Approval, Approval Plugin Loopback, Plugin Loopback 
390681 CAIPLUGIN 
390698 CMDB (arapi) RE 


If I grab the RPC ID from the user log then look at the corresponding entries 
in arapi.log, I see the following: 



[aradmin@rm00p11 remedy]$ cat arapi.log |grep '0003471068' 
<API > <TID: 0000000086> <RPC ID: 0003471068> <Queue: Fast      > <Client-RPC: 
390620   > <USER: Remedy Application Service                   > /* Wed Feb 08 
2012 10:00:36.0531 */+CE     ARCreateEntry -- schema FB:History from 
Unidentified Client (protocol 14) at IP address 172.31.128.55 
<API > <TID: 0000000086> <RPC ID: 0003471068> <Queue: Fast      > <Client-RPC: 
390620   > <USER: Remedy Application Service-- Impersonated by Remedy 
Application Service --> /* Wed Feb 08 2012 10:00:36.0828 */-CE               OK 
-- New ID 000000003280901 



[aradmin@rm00p11 remedy]$ cat arapi.log |grep '0003471067' 
<API > <TID: 0000000093> <RPC ID: 0003471067> <Queue: List      > <Client-RPC: 
390620   > <USER: Remedy Application Service                   > /* Wed Feb 08 
2012 10:00:36.0240 */+GES    ARGetEntryStatistics -- schema HPD:Help Desk from 
Unidentified Client (protocol 14) at IP address 172.31.128.55 
<API > <TID: 0000000093> <RPC ID: 0003471067> <Queue: List      > <Client-RPC: 
390620   > <USER: Remedy Application Service-- Impersonated by Remedy 
Application Service --> /* Wed Feb 08 2012 10:00:36.0476 */-GES              OK 

So it looks like the application statistics function as well as flashboards are 
using this function.  The interesting thing is that in flashboards/server.conf, 
I have the following configuration parameter: 


ARServerRpcNumber=390622 


I guess it does not look at this parameter.

Patrick, 

  

I don’t know if this helps at all, but I see “(impersonated)” in my user logs, 
though not for the Remedy Application Service. 

  

The logs seem to list impersonations for a) users logging in via the midtier 
and b) mail coming in to the email engine with a “From” that matches a User 
account email address. 

  

I don’t have ITSM, nor did we deliberately set up impersonation as far as I 
know – 

  

In   case this give a clue –

** I was trying to keep this short.... however it appears.. I am not making 
sense. 

#1 while looking at the debug logs we see the  "LOGIN Remedy Application 
Service (impersonated)" listed..  WHY? I am not asking if it can, that is 
apparent. 

#2 It is awesome that we can impersonate as an admin ... HOW? Where is this 
listed in the docs? : Excluding the API way... 

#3 is there code that BMC puts in that does this (ITSM).. that we are seeing 
out of the box?
