About
BISystem User is an internal administrator user created during installation in the Weblogic LDAP store for trusted communication between components. The password is created at random.
It owns the Oracle BI Server system processes and is not exposed in any user interface.
BISystemUser is used for service-to-service authentication.
This is not an ordinary user account but rather a set of credentials used to authenticate services within the system to each other.
The credentials of this account (name and password) are stored in the Credential Store under the system.user key
