Important: SOAP Toolkit Update

As part of ongoing Security Enhancements, we are planning to upgrade SOAP API authentication to P12 authentication. This upgrade is currently available for Java, C#, C++, and PHP.
You can upgrade to P12 Authentication in your SOAP toolkit by doing the following:
  • Create a P12 certificate.
  • Update the files in your project directory.
  • Add your certificate information to a
    toolkit.properties
    file in your project directory.
  • Update your
    pom.xml
    file.
You must upgrade the SOAP authentication to use P12 by these dates.
Test

  2. Add this plugin to the
    pom.xml
    file:
    <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId> <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>4.0.3</version> <configuration> <wsdlUrls> <wsdlUrl>https://ics2wstest.ic3.com/commerce/1.x/transactionProcessor/CyberSourceTransaction_1.219.wsdl</wsdlUrl> </wsdlUrls> <keep>true</keep> <packageName>com.cybersource.stub</packageName> <sourceDestDir>src/main/java</sourceDestDir> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
  3. Check the value that is set in the
    wsdlUrl
    tag, and update the version if necessary. The latest version of the WSDL that can be supported is 1.219.
  4. Run this command in your terminal:
    mvn clean jaxws:wsimport
  5. Find these lines in your existing code:
    TransactionProcessorLocator service = new TransactionProcessorLocator(); URL endpoint = new URL(SERVER_URL); ITransactionProcessorStub stub = (ITransactionProcessorStub) service.getportXML (endpoint); stub._setProperty(WSHandlerConstants.USER, request .getMerchantID());
    Replace them with these lines:
    TransactionProcessor service = new TransactionProcessor(); service.setHandlerResolver(portInfo - >{ List < Handler > handlerList = new ArrayList < >(); handlerList.add(new BinarySecurityTokenHandler()); return handlerList; }); ITransactionProcessor stub = service.getPortXML();
  6. Copy these files to your project directory:
    • BinarySecurityTokenHandler.java
    • PropertiesUtil.java
    • SecurityUtil.java
  7. Add a
    toolkit.properties
    file in the
    src/main/resources
    folder in your project. The
    toolkit.properties
    file must contain this content:
    MERCHANT_ID = <your_merchant_id> LIB_VERSION = 4.0.3 KEY_ALIAS = <your_certificate_key_alias> KEY_FILE = <your_certificate_file> KEY_PASS = <your_certificate_password> KEY_DIRECTORY = src/main/resources
    If you want to use your own properties file, you can make these changes in the
    PropertiesUtil.java
    file.
  8. Add your P12 certificate to your key directory.
  9. Run these commands in your terminal:
    mvn clean install
    java -jar target\JavaSoapToolkit.jar
  10. (Optional) You can confirm that your configuration is updated successfully by checking that your request was authenticated using a Bearer token. To confirm, add this command after line 54 in the
    src\main\java\com\cybersource\BinarySecurityTokenHandler.java
    file:
    System.out.println( soapMessageContext );

C# Migration Steps

Follow these steps to upgrade your C# code:
  1. Add the following service URL as a service reference to your project:
    https://ics2wstest.ic3.com/commerce/1.x/transactionProcessor/CyberSourceTransaction_N.NNN.wsdl
    where
    N.NNN
    is the latest server API version.
    This will generate a Connected Services section in your project. It will also generate an
    app.config
    file for your project.
  2. Add the following sections to the top of your
    app.config
    file:
    <configuration> <configSections> <section name="toolkitProperties" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/> </configSections> <toolkitProperties> <add key="MERCHANT_ID" value="<your_merchant_id>"/> <add key="KEY_ALIAS" value="<your_certificate_key_alias>"/> <add key="KEY_FILE" value="<your_certificate_file>"/> <add key="KEY_PASS" value="<your_certificate_password>"/> <add key="KEY_DIRECTORY" value="<path/to/certificate/file>"/> </toolkitProperties> </configuration>
    The
    <configSections>
    tag must be the first section inside
    <configurations>
    .
  3. In the generated
    app.config
    file, leave the
    <binding>
    section as it is.
    The
    <binding>
    section must look like this:
    <bindings> <basicHttpBinding> <binding name="ITransactionProcessor"> <security mode="Transport"/> </binding> </basicHttpBinding> </bindings>
  4. Add this dependency to the
    packages.config
    file:
    <packages> <package id="Portable.BouncyCastle" version="1.9.0" targetFramework="net472" /> </packages>
  5. Install the dependency:
    nuget install packages.config -OutputDirectory packages
  6. Add this package reference to your
    .csproj
    file:
    <Reference Include="BouncyCastle.Crypto, Version=1.9.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0e99375e54769942, processorArchitecture=MSIL"> <HintPath>packages\Portable.BouncyCastle.1.9.0\lib\net40\BouncyCastle.Crypto.dll</HintPath> </Reference>
    The steps for adding a new dependency can also be done through Visual Studio Package Manager.
  7. Add your P12 certificate to the
    KEY_DIRECTORY
    .
    This
    KEY_DIRECTORY
    location must be accessible to your code. Ensure that your code has permission to read this location.
  8. Copy these files to your project directory and import them to your project:
    • CertificateCacheUtility.cs
    • InspectorBehavior.cs
    • PropertiesUtility.cs
    • SecurityUtility.cs
    • SoapEnvelopeUtility.cs
  9. Find these lines in your existing code:
    TransactionProcessorClient proc = new TransactionProcessorClient(); proc.ChannelFactory.Credentials.UserName.UserName = request.merchantID; proc.ChannelFactory.Credentials.UserName.Password = TRANSACTION_KEY; ReplyMessage reply = proc.runTransaction(request);
    Replace them with these lines:
    TransactionProcessorClient proc = new TransactionProcessorClient(); proc.Endpoint.EndpointBehaviors.Add(new InspectorBehavior()); ReplyMessage reply = proc.runTransaction(request);
  10. Find your installation of .NET Framework.
    This is often located at one of these locations:
    • C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
      (32-bit)
    • C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
      (64-bit)
  11. Use
    msBuild.exe
    to compile your project.
    <path_to_framework>\msBuild.exe <name_of_project>.csproj
  12. Run the project executable:
    bin\<configuration>\<project_name>.exe
  13. (Optional) You can confirm that your configuration is updated successfully by checking that your request was authenticated using a Bearer token. To confirm, add this command after line 59 in the
    CSharpSoapToolkit\InspectorBehavior.cs
    file:
    Console.WriteLine(request.ToString());

PHP Migration Steps

Follow these steps to upgrade your existing PHP code:
  1. Update the following service URL (
    WSDL_URL
    ) in your code:
    https://ics2wstest.ic3.com/commerce/1.x/transactionProcessor/CyberSourceTransaction_N.NNN.wsdl
    N.NNN
    is the latest server API version.
  2. Copy these files to your project directory:
    • ExtendedClientWithToken.php
    • PropertiesUtility.php
    • SecurityUtility.php
  3. Locate these lines in your existing code:
    $soapClient = new ExtendedClient(WSDL_URL, array());
    Replace them with these lines:
    $soapClient = new ExtendedClientWithToken( WSDL_URL, array( 'SSL' => array( 'KEY_ALIAS' => 'YOUR KEY ALIAS', 'KEY_FILE' => 'YOUR CERTIFICATE FILE', 'KEY_PASS' => 'YOUR KEY PASS', 'KEY_DIRECTORY' => 'PATH TO CERTIFICATES' ) ) );
  4. Update the necessary values for these fields in your code:
    • MERCHANT_ID
    • KEY_ALIAS
    • KEY_FILE
    • KEY_PASS
    • KEY_DIRECTORY
  5. Add your P12 certificate to the
    KEY_DIRECTORY
    .
    This
    KEY_DIRECTORY
    location must be accessible to your code. Ensure that your code has permission to read this location.
  6. Run the code:
    php <sample_PHP_file>
  7. (Optional) You can confirm that your configuration is updated successfully by confirming that your request was authenticated using a Bearer token. To confirm, add this command after line 109 in the
    ExtendedClientWithToken.php
    file:
    print_r($request);

C++ Migration Steps

Follow these steps to upgrade your existing C++ code:
  1. Update your existing Makefile.
    Change the
    cybsdemo
    target from:
    cybsdemo: sample.cpp $(SOAPH) $(SOAPCPP) ../gsoap/dom.cpp wsseapi.o smdevp.o $(CPP) $(CFLAGS) -o cybsdemo sample.cpp soapC.cpp soapClient.cpp ../gsoap/dom.cpp $(SOAPCPP) wsseapi.o smdevp.o $(LIBS)
    To:
    cybsdemo: sample.cpp $(SOAPH) $(SOAPCPP) ../gsoap/dom.cpp wsseapi.o smdevp.o $(CPP) $(CFLAGS) -o cybsdemo sample.cpp soapC.cpp ../gsoap/dom.cpp stdsoap2.cpp ../gsoap/import/custom/struct_timeval.cpp ../gsoap/plugin/threads.c ../gsoap/plugin/mecevp.c ../gsoap/plugin/wsaapi.c wsseapi.o smdevp.o soapITransactionProcessorProxy.cpp ../gsoap/import/gsoapWinInet.cpp PropertiesUtil.cpp BinarySecurityTokenHandler.cpp $(LIBS)
    If you do not have an existing Makefile, you can use one of the following Makefiles:
    • UnixBuildAllCommented.Makefile
    • UnixQuickBuild.Makefile
    • WindowsBuildAllCommented.Makefile
    • WindowsQuickBuild.Makefile
    Cybersource
    recommends that you use UnixBuildAllCommented.Makefile or WindowsBuildAllCommented.Makefile. If you need to make changes to individual targets,
    Cybersource
    recommends that you use UnixQuickBuild.Makefile or WindowsQuickBuild.Makefile, as each target can be built individually.
  2. CyberSourceTransaction WSDL and XSD version 1.224 are available here:
  3. If you want to use a different version, download your preferred version to the project directory and update the versions in the
    header
    target of your makefile. For example, change:
    header: CyberSourceTransaction_1.224.wsdl $(GWSDL) -t ../gsoap/WS/WS-typemap.dat -s -o cybersource.h CyberSourceTransaction_1.224.wsdl
    to:
    header: CyberSourceTransaction_1.219.wsdl $(GWSDL) -t ../gsoap/WS/WS-typemap.dat -s -o cybersource.h CyberSourceTransaction_1.219.wsdl
  4. Add gsoap to the compile path. You can do this by using one of these methods:
    • Copy the gsoap directory, including the header files, to one level above the project directory.
    • Update all paths in the Makefile that reference 'gsoap' to point to where gsoap is located.
  5. Update your sample.cpp file to match your test credentials:
    const char *MERCHANT_ID = "your_merchant_id"; const char *TRANSACTION_KEY = "your_transaction_key";
    If you do not have an existing sample.cpp file, you can use the version that is provided here: sample.cpp.
    If you are using an existing sample.cpp file from a previous C++ SOAP Toolkit, you must refer to all "upgrading from previous versions" comments throughout sample.cpp to see what has changed.
  6. Include these new source files in your project:
    • BinarySecurityTokenHandler.cpp
    • BinarySecurityTokenHandler.h
    • PropertiesUtil.cpp
    • PropertiesUtil.h
    • stdsoap2.cpp
    • stdsoap2.h
  7. Edit the toolkit.properties configuration file to match your test credentials:
    MERCHANT_ID= KEY_ALIAS= KEY_FILE= KEY_PASS= KEY_DIRECTORY=
    The toolkit.properties configuration file is read from the same location as the executable at run time.
    You must make sure that there are no spaces at the start and end of the lines, or either side of
    =
    .
  8. Run this command in your terminal:
    make header
    This generates the cybersource.h file.
  9. Insert this text in the Import section of cybersource.h:
    #import "WS-Header.h"
  10. Run this command in your terminal:
    make source
    This generates these files:
    • soapITransactionProcessorProxy.cpp
    • soapITransactionProcessorProxy.h
    • ITransactionProcessor.runTransaction.req.xml
    • ITransactionProcessor.runTransaction.res.xml
    • ITransactionProcessor.nsmap
    • soapStub.h
    • soapH.h
    • soapC.cpp
  11. Run these commands in your terminal:
    make wsseapi.o make smdevp.o make cybsdemo
    This generates the cybsdemo.exe executable.
  12. Add your P12 certificate to the
    KEY_DIRECTORY
    .
  13. Run the cybsdemo.exe executable in your terminal.
    A successful console output consists of the
    keyFile
    full path, followed by the response from the web service and no errors. For example:
    keyFile full path: C:/keys/test_p12_file.p12 decision = APPROVED reasonCode = 0 requestID = 6017349752184504643266 requestToken = Axxd6DCgJoj77wSTjm5pe7DwFPfjpNDMyadDIZ/u1Pfje7D9IGU1ogwAGkmXoDc3JoZmTToZDIAAvxSz ccAuthReply.reasonCode = 0

HTTPS with Java Clients

The following instructions will help you to transition your payment system to send and receive HTTPS Simple Order API transmissions using Java:
You must use Java 8 or later to implement this change.

Update JDK Properties

Update the following properties within the Java SDK:
  • serverURL=https://ics2.ic3.com:443/
    This tells the SCMP client to use an HTTPS connection.
  • useJdkUrlConnection=true
    This tells the SCMP client to use the JDK URL Connection. This is required for HTTPS to run.

HTTPS with Non-Java Clients

The following instructions will help you to transition your payment system to send and receive HTTPS SO API transmissions.

Enable SCMP to SO Conversions For Non-Java Clients

This method allows users with an SCMP payment system to maintain the SCMP system while using the SO endpoint. The SCMP payloads are converted into an Simple Order payload and sent to the associated Simple Order endpoint. When the Simple Order payload is returned, the payload is then converted back into SCMP for processing by the system. The image below outlines the message path:
An example program for C++, .NET, and PHP are available on GitHub: GitHub Sample Code

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for this work.

Establish the Simple Order Payload Conversion

  1. Add the SCMP sample client program to your payment system. These files can be found in the GitHub resource referenced above.
  2. Update the
    app.config
    file. The following list is of values must be updated:
    • merchantID
      : Set this to your production merchant ID used for commerce.
    • keysDirectory
      : The file path to the P12 certificate generated previously.
    • password
      : The P12 certificate password.
    • keyAlias
      : The name of your MID.
    Other values may be set at your discretion. Use the comments within the file to determine which values you wish to change.
  3. After the SCMP payment software creates a request payload, run the
    processRequest
    method found in the
    Util.cs
    file against that payload.
    This method converts the SCMP payload into an Simple Order payload and forwards the Simple Order payload to the correct Simple Order endpoint. When the Simple Order reply payload is received, the method will then convert the payload back into an SCMP payload for normal processing within the system.

    • Update all paths in the Makefile that reference 'gsoap' to point to where gsoap is located.
  4. Update your sample.cpp file to match your test credentials:
    const char *MERCHANT_ID = "your_merchant_id"; const char *TRANSACTION_KEY = "your_transaction_key";
    If you do not have an existing sample.cpp file, you can use the version that is provided here: sample.cpp.
    If you are using an existing sample.cpp file from a previous C++ SOAP Toolkit, you must refer to all "upgrading from previous versions" comments throughout sample.cpp to see what has changed.
  5. Include these new source files in your project:
    • BinarySecurityTokenHandler.cpp
    • BinarySecurityTokenHandler.h
    • PropertiesUtil.cpp
    • PropertiesUtil.h
    • stdsoap2.cpp
    • stdsoap2.h
  6. Edit the toolkit.properties configuration file to match your test credentials:
    MERCHANT_ID= KEY_ALIAS= KEY_FILE= KEY_PASS= KEY_DIRECTORY=
    The toolkit.properties configuration file is read from the same location as the executable at run time.
    You must make sure that there are no spaces at the start and end of the lines, or either side of
    =
    .
  7. Run this command in your terminal:
    make header
    This generates the cybersource.h file.
  8. Insert this text in the Import section of cybersource.h:
    #import "WS-Header.h"
  9. Run this command in your terminal:
    make source
    This generates these files:
    • soapITransactionProcessorProxy.cpp
    • soapITransactionProcessorProxy.h
    • ITransactionProcessor.runTransaction.req.xml
    • ITransactionProcessor.runTransaction.res.xml
    • ITransactionProcessor.nsmap
    • soapStub.h
    • soapH.h
    • soapC.cpp
  10. Run these commands in your terminal:
    make wsseapi.o make smdevp.o make cybsdemo
    This generates the cybsdemo.exe executable.
  11. Add your P12 certificate to the
    KEY_DIRECTORY
    .
  12. Run the cybsdemo.exe executable in your terminal.
    A successful console output consists of the
    keyFile
    full path, followed by the response from the web service and no errors. For example:
    keyFile full path: C:/keys/test_p12_file.p12 decision = APPROVED reasonCode = 0 requestID = 6017349752184504643266 requestToken = Axxd6DCgJoj77wSTjm5pe7DwFPfjpNDMyadDIZ/u1Pfje7D9IGU1ogwAGkmXoDc3JoZmTToZDIAAvxSz ccAuthReply.reasonCode = 0

Important: SOAP Toolkit Update for C# Users

As part of ongoing Security Enhancements, we are planning to upgrade SOAP API authentication to P12 authentication. This upgrade is currently available for Java, C#, C++, and PHP.
You can upgrade to P12 Authentication in your SOAP toolkit by doing the following:
  • Create a P12 certificate.
  • Update the files in your project directory.
  • Add your certificate information to a
    toolkit.properties
    file in your project directory.
  • Update your
    pom.xml
    file.
You must upgrade the SOAP authentication to use P12 by these dates.
Test
: April 14, 2025
Production
: May 13, 2025
This update is currently available only for the Java, PHP, C++, and C# SOAP Toolkits. The updated SDK is available here on GitHub: Other toolkits will be available in January 2025.
This Java SOAP Toolkit update works only with WSDL or XSD 1.219 or earlier.

C#

Prerequisites

You must create a P12 certificate. See the .
With this change to use a P12 certificate in your C# SOAP toolkit configuration, your application must meet these new requirements:

PHP Prerequisites

You must create a P12 certificate. See the .
With this change to use a P12 certificate in your PHP SOAP toolkit configuration, the new requirements for your application will be:
  • PHP 5.6x and higher
  • PHP SOAP extension
  • PHP OpenSSL extension

Migration Steps

Follow these steps to upgrade your C# code:
  1. Add the following service URL as a service reference to your project:
    https://ics2wstest.ic3.com/commerce/1.x/transactionProcessor/CyberSourceTransaction_N.NNN.wsdl
    where
    N.NNN
    is the latest server API version.
    This will generate a Connected Services section in your project. It will also generate an
    app.config
    file for your project.
  2. Add the following sections to the top of your
    app.config
    file:
    <configuration> <configSections> <section name="toolkitProperties" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/> </configSections> <toolkitProperties> <add key="MERCHANT_ID" value="<your_merchant_id>"/> <add key="KEY_ALIAS" value="<your_certificate_key_alias>"/> <add key="KEY_FILE" value="<your_certificate_file>"/> <add key="KEY_PASS" value="<your_certificate_password>"/> <add key="KEY_DIRECTORY" value="<path/to/certificate/file>"/> </toolkitProperties> </configuration>
    The
    <configSections>
    tag must be the first section inside
    <configurations>
    .
  3. In the generated
    app.config
    file, leave the
    <binding>
    section as it is.
    The
    <binding>
    section must look like this:
    <bindings> <basicHttpBinding> <binding name="ITransactionProcessor"> <security mode="Transport"/> </binding> </basicHttpBinding> </bindings>
  4. Add this dependency to the
    packages.config
    file:
    <packages> <package id="Portable.BouncyCastle" version="1.9.0" targetFramework="net472" /> </packages>
  5. Install the dependency:
    nuget install packages.config -OutputDirectory packages
  6. Add this package reference to your
    .csproj
    file:
    <Reference Include="BouncyCastle.Crypto, Version=1.9.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0e99375e54769942, processorArchitecture=MSIL"> <HintPath>packages\Portable.BouncyCastle.1.9.0\lib\net40\BouncyCastle.Crypto.dll</HintPath> </Reference>
    The steps for adding a new dependency can also be done through Visual Studio Package Manager.
  7. Add your P12 certificate to the
    KEY_DIRECTORY
    .
    This
    KEY_DIRECTORY
    location must be accessible to your code. Ensure that your code has permission to read this location.
  8. Copy these files to your project directory and import them to your project:
    • CertificateCacheUtility.cs
    • InspectorBehavior.cs
    • PropertiesUtility.cs
    • SecurityUtility.cs
    • SoapEnvelopeUtility.cs
  9. Find these lines in your existing code:
    TransactionProcessorClient proc = new TransactionProcessorClient(); proc.ChannelFactory.Credentials.UserName.UserName = request.merchantID; proc.ChannelFactory.Credentials.UserName.Password = TRANSACTION_KEY; ReplyMessage reply = proc.runTransaction(request);
    Replace them with these lines:
    TransactionProcessorClient proc = new TransactionProcessorClient(); proc.Endpoint.EndpointBehaviors.Add(new InspectorBehavior()); ReplyMessage reply = proc.runTransaction(request);
  10. Find your installation of .NET Framework.
    This is often located at one of these locations:
    • C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
      (32-bit)
    • C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
      (64-bit)
  11. Use
    msBuild.exe
    to compile your project.
    <path_to_framework>\msBuild.exe <name_of_project>.csproj
  12. Run the project executable:
    bin\<configuration>\<project_name>.exe
  13. (Optional) You can confirm that your configuration is updated successfully by checking that your request was authenticated using a Bearer token. To confirm, add this command after line 59 in the
    CSharpSoapToolkit\InspectorBehavior.cs
    file:
    Console.WriteLine(request.ToString());
