GetChallengeRequest Method
Builds the Challenge Request (CReq) for browser-based flow.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetChallengeRequest(); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetChallengeRequest();
- (NSString*)getChallengeRequest;
#define MID_SERVER_GETCHALLENGEREQUEST 6 IPWORKS3DS_EXTERNAL int IPWORKS3DS_CALL IPWorks3DS_Server_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);
Remarks
The GetChallengeRequest method is used to build the Challenge Request (CReq) which will be sent in a form post to the ACSURL property via the cardholder browser.
An iframe should be created in the cardholder's browser, which will be used to send the challenge request and allow the cardholder and ACS to interact directly.
The size of the challenge window (iframe) may be any of the sizes listed in ChallengeWindowSize. Before calling this method set ChallengeWindowSize to the appropriate value to let the ACS know the size of the window on the cardholder's browser.
Calling this method will return a string which should be placed in a creq form variable.
The SessionData setting may also be set with any data that may be helpful to continue processing the transaction after the final challenge response is received at the NotificationURL. To prepare the session data for submission, query EncodedSessionData. The encoded string may then be placed in the threeDSSessionData form variable.
Note: The maximum length of the threeDSSessionData form variable, after being encoded, is 1024 bytes.
Example Form
Response Handling
Once the challenge has been completed by the cardholder, the directory server will post a Results Request (RReq) to the ResultsURL specified when calling SendAuthRequest. See CheckResponse and GetResultsResponse for more details.
The ACS will also post the Challenge Response to the NotificationURL specified when calling SendAuthRequest. This post contains data which may be parsed to verify the challenge results. See CheckResponse for more details.
Error Handling (C++)
This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
