  • 1.  WLA_REST_WADE_SU ID

    Posted Jun 22, 2018 11:16 AM

    Is there any documentation regarding the user ID called WLA_REST_WADE_SU? I believe this ID was introduced to our system either with the R12 upgrade or by having the Web User Interface enabled. This is an ID that appears on our security reports when we run them, but cannot be seen via Admin/Security.

     

    We have been seeing traces of the ID'S use in our systems and want to best understand it's purpose and use.

     

    Thanks,

    Denise

    Hi,

     

    This user is associated with CA Workload Automation DE Web Client. In case you have enabled Web Client to connect to any server , this is the super user who gets connected to the server from Web Client.

     

    Hope it helps!

    Thanks, Kiran, for the response. One follow-up question. So, if we see these entries in the auditlog:

    Does this mean that someone submitted those READ commands from the Web client? And is this as designed, that the action would be masked as to who really submitted the commands?

    We use the auditlogs a lot to identify Users who have performed actions, so if this is how the Web client will work, not sure it's a benefit for troubleshooting.

    Hi,

     

    This needs to be further analyzed to know what the auditlogs mean in such cases. Can you please open a ticket for the same.

     

    Thanks and regards,
