Before you begin
You must start the Customization Dialog or Profile Management tool
and fill in the common group and user variables.
About this task
The common group and user settings are used in the customization
of every WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cell. By saving the common
group and user 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 common group and
user variables and before moving on to later customization steps. If you encounter
problems during customization and change the common group and user variable
values, be sure to re-save them.
Note: This procedure applies to only the "Configure
a common group and user" dialog option. For information about saving variables
for all the other dialog options, see
Saving the cell variables
Procedure
- 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

Option ===>
Save common group and user variables
Specify the name of a sequential data set to contain the common group and
user 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 common group and user 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 common group and user variable data set
on your common group and user worksheet.
Results
The common group and user settings are saved in the data set you selected.
