User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values.

[mwex501]

Hello:

I created an Accept hosted integartion. This integration works fine in sandbox mode, but fails in LIVE mode with the following error:

User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values.

I verified that my transactionKey and api_login_id are correct and that I am using the correct URL.

The settings on the auth.net account are set to LIVE.

What else could be the issue? I see banter about requiring a signature key also, but nothing in the docs.

Below is the code for the request:

<getHostedPaymentPageRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
<merchantAuthentication>
        <name>{hidden api_login_id}</name>
        <transactionKey>{hidden transaction key}</transactionKey>
</merchantAuthentication>

So not sure if anyone figured this out already, but I was running into this issue as well. I was using their example code/API. Everything worked fine in sandbox mode but would fail with a authentication error with the production keys. I had to dig through their SDK code and found out the reason it was failing is because their code defaults to using the sandbox url. I use node so it might be slightly different for everyone else, but I went into the authorizenet folder > apicontrollersbase.js then changed this line this._endpoint = constants.endpoint.sandbox; to this this._endpoint = constants.endpoint.production; and everything started working correctly.

It is really annoying that I have to go into their code and find that line and change it in order for it to work. It should just force me to put in the url that I want to use, or accept the url as a parameter and then defualt to the sandbox if it is not provided. Hope that helps anyone who stumbles across this.
