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

Procedure
- On the "Configure Security Domain" panel, type the appropriate
number in the Option field to select "Save security domain variables"

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:
- 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.
- 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.
