SIM for authorize.net : Relay response loses state

[Amanda]

I've read through quite a few postings and have not found the answer, so here I am...

 

Here's my situation:

 

osCommerce: 2.2-MS1

payment gateway: authorize.net

 

1. I need to use SIM with authorize.net so I can use authorize.net's secure server to process payment info securely.

 

2. I can create and pass the required SIM variables to authorize.net and get credit card verification from authorize.net

 

3. When the relay response URL (checkout_process.php) is loaded from authorize.net - it loses state, it has no order or login info to continue processing the order, ie. insert order into database, email customer and finish up the final order processing so the code redirects me to the login page.

 

What is the state variable used for checkout_process.php. A cookie? the osCsid? I probably need to pass some hidden variable to authorize.net but I have't nailed it down yet.

 

If anyone has successfully used SIM with authorize.net to process an order and has returned successfully to the checkout_process.php to finalize the order, I would be most grateful for this final piece to the puzzle along with any other helpful info. Thanks in advance.
