Hi,

Sorry to ask but, why do you want to mitigate something which maybe doesn't concern you?

Is your OBIEE publicly accessible?

This doesn't literally mean anything.

In OBIEE I'm more scared by users being allowed to build analysis with 154 columns and dumping out millions of rows in Excel files than if somebody, inside the company network, will try to setup a fake page for clickjacking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickjacking ).

That setting will prevent OBIEE from being rendered in an iframe as the doc says. Some people used to embed OBIEE content into iframes to embed it into some portals or other websites. With that parameter in the instanceconfig.xml, embedding OBIEE by iframe will not work anymore.

Wrong question from completely undefined starting point pretty much invalidates the question in itself.

Take 5 steps back and think about how your solution is architected.
