Finally the meat

After being nauseated by yet another vaporware Microsoft presentation, BMC gave an excellent overview of how to use XMA's to do things like provision OpenLDAP, MySQL, and ORACLE.

Privileged access project? Done. Now the only challenges are really getting the access to do the actual provisioning and getting the list of servers to maintain. One small wrinkle, XMAs seem to be based on one off connections so we'd have to run quite a few XMAs to cover all of our Oracle databases. Still, good problems to have compared to I cant do it with MIIS.
