Global Security - Configuring the Security Settings

Turning on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS global security has been described as flipping a big switch and this will impact the behavior of your WebSphere Application Server for z/OS system on z/OS significantly. For this reason it is strongly recommended that you:

• Become familiar with the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS documentation on security. Specifically, you should review:
  • Security topics from the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS InfoCenter;
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, Version V7.0: Securing applications and their environment WebSphere Application Server, Version V7.0 Information Center

Be aware that if you have other applications running on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, they will be impacted by global security being turned on and may no longer function.
