Content of the ignore_user_list.txt file is not applied

Symptoms

When account names are added to the ignore_user_list.txt in order to exclude them from the User-ID agent, those accounts still appear in the logs as if the ignore list wasn't applied.

Cause

By default Microsoft Windows hides known file extensions and automatically adds the .txt extension when creating a text file. The file was saved as "ignore_user_list.txt", it was actually saved as "ignore_user_list.txt.txt" since Windows added the extension

Resolution

Rename the file to remove the extra ".txt" to resolve the issue.
