Delay / Timeout Scenario¶

You can test scenarios such as delay or timeout in Verify Enrolment or Payer Authentication processes.

You can create a responseTimeout.properties file in ActiveAccess' AA_HOME directory. This configuration file can be used for testing purposes only and under no circumstances should be used in a real production environment. The properties in this configuration file should be in the following general format:

BIN.reqType=waiting time (milliseconds)
BIN: is the issuer specified BIN number for which you would like to cause a delay in the response to card numbers that match the BIN.
reqType (VE or PA): is the type of the request for which you would like to cause a given amount of delay. VE and PA stand for Verify Enrolment and Payer Authentication requests respectively.
Waiting time: The delay in milliseconds that you would like to cause in the response of VE or PA requests.
To set a VE response delay, it is recommended that it is greater than the VERES time-out defined by the MPI.
To set PA response delay, it is recommended that it is greater than the PARes time-out defined by the MPI
Info
0 means unlimited
Example
412345.VE=15000
512345.PA=20000
341234.VE=0

ActiveAccess server should be restarted for changes to take effect.

Perform a Test Transaction¶

After configuring each of the authentication scenarios, perform a test transaction with the card. If you have access to the GPayments MPI (ActiveMerchant), follow the steps below.

ActiveMerchant Test Payment Page (3-D Secure 1)

Go to the ActiveMerchant Test Payment page
Enter the Card number to perform a test transaction
Click the Submit button
Ensure that the outcome corresponds with the authentication scenario.
