Authorize.net module...ADC or....

[♥monte22]

Can someone tell me if the authorize.net module in MS1 uses ADC or the old relay method? I am setting up an authorize.net account, and have been reading how the relay method will not work anymore. I just didn't know if osC had been updated?

 

Also, if I do need a contribution to work which is the best one?

 

Thanks

Fortunately, the authorizenet module in MS1 and MS2 uses the currently supported protocol, not the old method variously known as "relay response" and "WebLink".

 

The protocol named ADC is employed by Bao's contribution:

but that requires curl which not all servers provide.

 

Authorizenet created enormous confusion by the way it named the protocols, as you can see in the announcement last October:

In an effort to enhance security surrounding the submission of transaction information, Authorize.Net has developed a new gateway connection method. This new method, referred to as Simple Integration Method (SIM), combines the increased security and robustness of Advanced Integration Method (AIM) (previously known as ADC Direct Response) with some of the programming ease of WebLink and Relay Response.  

Designed to provide both an increased level of security and intermediate integration, SIM provides you with a superior alternative to the WebLink and Relay Response connection methods. Next year, WebLink and Relay Response will be discontinued and transactions will no longer be accepted using these methods. For this reason, Authorize.Net encourages all merchants currently using WebLink or Relay Response to plan and prepare for migration to either AIM or SIM.

 

But the bottom line, and the answer to your post, is that the standard authorizenet module in MS1 and MS2 uses SIM.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad that it is already set up with SIM since my server does not support curl.

Do you really need cURL in PHP? If you look at the code it has an exec() call with the comment "Uncomment for use with Unix-type systems with CURL installed". I'm not entirely sure, but I think you can uncomment that, and take out the PHP curl_whatever() functions below.

 

 

I tried installing it myself (haven't tested yet), should it show up in the Payment Modules admin panel? I just see the standard Authorize.net module that is included.

 

 

Thanks, good luck, and take care.

Also, you do need cURL installed...which for Win32 you uncomment the DLL and change the cURL path to what it needs to be for your server for the cURL.exe

I am running a unix server, and I do have curl installed, however I don't know if the exec() command is enabled. Where would I check, and where would I enable it if it is not currently enabled? Thanks

;). For my Win32, it's in httpd.conf...where you list out directory access you'll put Options Includes ExecCGI and that should do it for ya.

Well I am running a Linux server, and I talked to my host and they got it enabled for me. Now everything works great. Thanks
