Loading the security domain variables

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

  1. 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 to the following:
    ------------  WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Customization     --------
    Option  ===>                                                                  
                                                                                  
    Load Security Domain Variables                                                
                                                                                  
     Specify the name of a data set containing the security domain variables,     
     then press Enter to continue.                                                
                                                                                  
     IBM-supplied defaults are in ''                                              
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
     Data set name:                                                               
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
     If this data set is not cataloged, specify the volume.                       
                                                                                  
     Volume:                                                                      
  2. Fill in the name of the sequential data set you used to hold the security domain variable values and press Enter. The security domain variables will load.

Results

The security domain settings are loaded. You can display these variables, but not change them.
