CyberSource: Simple Order API Security Keys
Generating Transaction Keys
The CyberSource Simple Order API secures online transactions through public key cryptography. Before you can send requests for CyberSource services using the Simple Order API, you need to create a security key for your CyberSource merchant account in the Business Center.
Note: Coordinate with FrontStream before generating a new key to schedule a time to enter the password.
Steps To generate a security key:
- Log in to CyberSource's Electronic Business Center (EBC2).
- Choose Payment Configuration > Key Management.
- Click the blue +Generate Key button on the right side of the page.
- Under Recommended Key Type Select the bullet for Simple Order API
- Click Generate key button in lower right.
- Click the Download key button
- Set a Password (this password will need to be supplied to FrontStream)
- Click Generate Key button
- File will save in your Downloads folder.
-
When downloading the certificate file, ensure that you keep the most recent version. If there are multiple local copies of the certificate (e.g., `unitedwaysb.pk12` and `unitedwaysb(2).pk12`), rename the most current file by removing any numbers in parentheses. The correct file name should not contain any numbers or parentheses (e.g., `unitedwaysb.pk12`).
