This article describes how to complete the "Load security domain
variables" option for a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Network Deployment
cell.
Before you begin
Create the security domain you will use for the new Network Deployment
cell and know the name of the saved security domain configuration variable
file that you recorded on the security domain worksheet.
About this task
The security domain settings are used in the customization of
every WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cell. By loading the security
domain variables at the start of node or cell creation, you ensure that the
security domain configuration you use is consistent and matches the RACF definitions
that have already been set as part of security domain configuration.
Complete
this task as the first step in configuring a new Network Deployment cell.
If you encounter problems during customization and change the security domain
variable values, be sure to re-save them.
Procedure
- On the "Configure Deployment Manager Node" panel, type the appropriate
number in the Option field to select "Load security domain variables"
and press Enter. You will see a panel that looks similar
