Step 2 Validate Authentication Transaction
Validate Authentication Transaction Test Cases
Procedure
Direct the Validate Authentication transaction (TRXTYPE=Z) to the test buyer
authentication server: pilot-buyerauth.verisign.com. Use the PARES value from the ACS
return POST or use the example value that appears on page 114.
IMPORTANT:To avoid format errors, the submitted PARES value should be a single line
with no carriage returns (check especially at the end of the message).
For this call, you must use the pfpro_file.exe script—do not use the pfpro.exe client. Save the
Validate Authentication transaction in a file and then use the pfpro_file script to send the
request to the test Buyer Authentication server:
