This article describes how to complete the "Load security domain
variables" option for a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS federated application
server node.
Before you begin
Create the security domain you will use for the new federated application
server node 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 federated application server
node. If you encounter problems during customization and change the security
domain variable values, be sure to re-save them.
Procedure
- On the "Federate stand-alone application server 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:
