30 October 2002 Authorize.Net introduced a new connection method (SIM) to provide both an increased level
of security and intermediate integration. SIM is a superior alternative to the WebLink and Relay Response connection methods.
In 2004, WebLink and Relay Response will be discontinued and transactions will no longer be accepted using these methods.
Merchants using WebLink or Relay Response are encouraged to plan and prepare for migration to SIM.
Preparation
Contact your hosting service provider to work with files on the host server.
AuthorizeNet certificate is trusted by VeriSign Trust Network.
Since the standard java cartcerts file doesn't include VeriSign Trust Network public certificate,
H-Sphere returns 'Connect error, untrusted server cert chain' when trying to
connect to the merchant gateway. The following are the solutions:
A. If you have got the default java cacerts file and you have never
changed it, you can simply replace it with the cacerts file offered by psoft:
/usr/java/<java home>/jre/lib/security/cacerts
B. If you need to keep your cacerts file, you can fix this problem using
the keytool feature available in the standard java installation:
How do I update my cacerts file?
Configuration
- Select AuthorizeNet in the Add New Gateway box.
- Click the Add button.
- Fill out the form that appears:
- Title: give a name to this AuthorizeNet connection
- Server: the name of the AuthorizeNet server
- Port: the port of the AuthorizeNet server
- Path: the path to the server side handler file. This can be a script or a
binary file that is launched with an http request.
- Login: your AuthorizeNet login
- Password: the password which comes with login/username
- Referrer URL: the URL of the page that requests the payment. It's required
as in some cases requests can be canceled without this information. Referrer
URL can be your control panel URL, e.g: http://cp.your_domain
(http://cp.example.com). Make sure to enter the same Referrer URL
in settings -> response/receipt URLs
in your AuthorizeNet interface, otherwise the request will be denied.
- Test Mode:
- FALSE: credit card transactions will be completed and credit cards will be charged;
- TRUE: authorization requests will be sent for verification without
settlement requests and credit cards won't be charged.
* In Test Mode, all transactions appear to be processed as real transactions.
The gateway accepts the transactions, but does not pass them on to the financial institutions.
Accordingly, all transactions will be approved by the gateway when Test Mode is turned on.
- Click Submit Query
Please make sure to disable Require Password in the AuthorizeNet interface.
