   The eXtreme Scale definitions page, showing a list of all the eXtreme Scale definitions, is displayed.
2. Click New.
   The eXtreme Scale definitions configuration page opens.
3. Complete the following property fields:

   WebSphere eXtreme Scale definition name

   This field is required and must be unique inside the cell. It is the administrative name for this eXtreme Scale definition.

   Description

   You can use this field to enter a description for the definition. Optional - for your own reference.

   Default WebSphere eXtreme Scale definition

   This field indicates whether this definition is the default. If this is the first definition you have created, this definition will be set as the default.

   Note: You cannot update the default from this page.

   Grid name

   This field is required because it is the identifier for the location of the grid within the Object Grid XML file.

   Catalog service endpoints

   This field is required because it is the identifier as a hostname (or IP address) and port to connect to a WebSphere eXtreme Scale catalog server.

   Security enabled

   You can specify whether you want security to be enabled when you connect to the eXtreme Scale server.

   Credential generator

   If you specify that you want security to be enabled, then you are required to select which security credentials you want to use to authenticate with the eXtreme Scale server. The valid options are either UserPassword or WSToken.

   Authentication Alias

   If you specify to use UserPassword security credentials, then you must define the alias to authenticate with the eXtreme Scale server instance.
