Saving the security domain variables

Before you begin

You must start the Customization Dialog and fill in the security domain variables.

About this task

The security domain settings are used in the customization of every WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cell. By saving the security domain variables, you create a saved security configuration that you can use consistently across all nodes in the cells you create for a given security domain.

Complete this task after setting the security domain variables and before moving on to later customization steps. If you encounter problems during customization and change the security domain variable values, be sure to re-save them.
Note: This procedure applies to only the "Configure a security domain" dialog option. For information about saving variables for all the other dialog options, see Saving the cell variables

Procedure

  1. On the "Configure Security Domain" panel, type the appropriate number in the Option field to select "Save 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  ===>                                                                  
                                                                                  
    Save Security Domain Variables                                                
                                                                                  
      Specify the name of a sequential data set to contain the security domain    
      variables, then press Enter to continue. If the data set does not exist,    
      the dialog displays the Allocate New Data Set panel, with which you         
      can allocate a data set.                                                    
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
     Data set name:                                       
  2. Fill in the name of the sequential data set you will use to hold the security domain variable values.

    Choose a data set name that identifies the sysplex, cell, or group of cells for which this security domain is defined. If the data set does not exist, you will be prompted for data set allocation information.

  3. Record the name of the security domain variable data set on your security domain worksheet.

Results

The security domain settings are saved in the data set you selected.
