A login key file is an ASCII file in which the authenticating user
IDs, passwords, and target realms for each different target server are specified.
About this task
When the security authentication service processes the login key
file, the passwords in the file are encoded.
Procedure
- Create a new ASCII file a text editor. The authenticating
user IDs, passwords, and target realms for each different target server are
specified in the login key file, which is an ASCII file. When the security
authentication service processes the login key file, the passwords in the
file are encoded.
- Add information to the login key file that you created in the previous
step in the following format:
Realm_name User_ID Password
- Make sure that the data conforms to the following rules:
The realm name of a WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS target is the IP name of the daemon, as specified in the configuration
of the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product. The user ID and password
are those that are defined for secured WebSphere Application Server for z/OS
servers.
A wsserver.key sample
file also contains these instructions. After installation, you can locate
this sample file in the app_server_root/properties directory.
You can use or modify the sample file as needed for testing.
You can
place the login key file anywhere on a host machine running the application
server. However, it is recommended that you place the login key file under
a securable file system.
