User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values.

tiek — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:19:24 GMT

Dear Sir,

I'm a developer and i'm deploying Authorize.net ARB API to client website. When I'm going to transaction it shows the error "Response Text: User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values." What is this issue. I used my test account credentials so it's working fine but when i change the test credential to merchant API login and transaction key it shows the error. I have changed the URL : $host = "api.authorize.net"; $path = "/xml/v1/request.api"; but still shows the same error.

Really Appreciate your quick response.

double check the merchant loginID and transactionKey. Or try regenerating a new transactionKey.

If you try new one and still getting the same response, can you log you request just before it send to authorize.net to make sure it is send to api.authorize.net? and what was the response reason code?

Dear Raynor,

Thanks for your quick response. I'm getting the below error.

Response Code: E00007
Response Text: User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values.

I am using the api.authorize.net url.

$host = "api.authorize.net";

$path = "/xml/v1/request.api";

and below is my xml:

$content =

"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>" .

"<ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest xmlns=\"AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd\">" .

"<merchantAuthentication>".

"<name>" . $loginname . "</name>".

"<transactionKey>" . $transactionkey . "</transactionKey>".

"</merchantAuthentication>".

"<refId>" . $refId . "</refId>".

"<subscription>".

"<name>" . $name . "</name>".

"<paymentSchedule>".

"<interval>".

"<length>". $length ."</length>".

"<unit>". $unit ."</unit>".

"</interval>".

"<startDate>" . $startDate . "</startDate>".

"<totalOccurrences>". $totalOccurrences . "</totalOccurrences>".

"<trialOccurrences>". $trialOccurrences . "</trialOccurrences>".

"</paymentSchedule>".

"<amount>". $amount ."</amount>".

"<trialAmount>" . $trialamount . "</trialAmount>".

"<payment>".

"<creditCard>".

"<cardNumber>" . $cardNumber . "</cardNumber>".

"<expirationDate>" . $expirationDate . "</expirationDate>".

"</creditCard>".

"</payment>".

"<billTo>".

"<firstName>". $firstName . "</firstName>".

"<lastName>" . $lastName . "</lastName>".

"</billTo>".

"</subscription>".

"</ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest>";

//send the xml via curl

$response = send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content);

Please check and revert me back. I'm still stuck here.

I have reset my transaction KEY and am using the development server.

I too am getting this error. I know the module works fine on the production server as I have it running there now, but am looking to add in some additional features and want to use the sand box for this.

No luck though loggong in. I get the error:

Error Processing Credit Card : E00007 -- User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values.

I know that I am passing the correct values (verified) and and looking to use the development server.
