Claire,

Turn on API logging for a few minutes and capture some cases where the user Demo
shows up.

The API log will give you the client type of the client.  If it is one of the
components of the system from BMC or from some partner or your own developers 
who
have set the client type, that will tell you what type of thing the access is 
from.
If it says client-type of 0, that means it is probably a custom written API 
program.

The API log also will give you the IP address of where the call came from.  Now,
if you have a complex environment with firewalls that rewrite IP addresses, that
may or may not help, but in many environments, it is the IP address of the 
source
machine of the API call.  That will tell you where to look for your caller.  If 
the
caller is a browser session, the IP address will be of the mid-tier rather than 
the
actual browser, but if it is the mid-tier, it will tell you it is an interactive
user logging in as Demo -- just not where from.

This is at least a good starting point to work from.

Good luck finding your rogue Demo users....

Subject: Remedy ITSM - Demo gone wild!

When our system was installed, Demo had no password since that is the default.

I reset the Demo password in the User form.

Demo keeps trying to log into the system and of course the blank password 
fails.  Is there anywhere I can look to see where "Demo" has been put as the 
admin user?  Something is using Demo and failing. 12176 times in the last 20 
days.
