CAF = Migration Utility? Use Caution!

There has been a lot of chatter recently in the OBIEE blogosphere regarding the Content Accelerator Framework (CAF) and its use in the process of migrating OBIEE content from dev/test to production. Despite the CAF being available for quite a while now, it is suddenly being heralded as the new way to migrate OBIEE content to production.

Setting Permissions for your Oracle Access Manager Bind Account in OID

The bind account that OAM uses to connect to OID directory services needs to have full rights over the portion of the DIT that you intend to manage with OAM.

It is considered a best practice to avoid using the root user (cn=orcladmin) who has rights over the whole context and the rest of the server. It's also a good practice to avoid the use of cn=orcladmin,cn=users,dc=company,dc=com to preserve it for general context administration.
