Additional Information

The Vantiv SDK offers the following codes, but Abila has special advice about these codes:

Code	Description	Example Value
logFile	Only under special circumstances should you add this code to your merchant account. This file logs all requests and responses to the Vantiv web service made through the SDK. Note: If you want to add a logFile, then contact Abila for guidance. You must ensure that the path for the log file is within the site folder of the application. Or you must ensure that the service account running the NetForum application pool is part of the Administration group on the server.	blank
neuterAccountNums	Because of security considerations, NetForum does not allow you to override this setting. A setting that masks sensitive information like account and credit card numbers in the requests and responses during logging. NetForum automatically sets this value to true.	true
verificationEnabled	Enter the code verificationEnabled with the value true to enable the eCheckVerification feature. If the setting is false, or it has not been created, then the RegisterToken method creates the token. Note: For any Vantiv account, the optional feature, eCheckVerification, verifies the ACH routing number, checks if the account is a risk for fraud, and then creates the token. This feature could require an extra fee. Contact Vantiv for details. If you choose to enable the eCheckVerification feature, then you must enable it in Vantiv and in NetForum.	true
