SIM Relay Response - Timeout Error

I realize there are many other posts out there about this exact error in regards to SIM relay response, however, I've addressed every possible resolution I can find currently listed, and everything is configured correctly as far as I can tell.

 

So I thought it might be helpful for me to just list everything I know - setup, code, etc. and see if anybody had any other ideas. Thanks so much for any help!

 

1. My relay response URL is configured in the web interface as well as in my SIM form.

    - https://reportpro.heeter.com/storefrontpayment/paymentresponse.aspx

 

2. I've confirmed that the domain is accessible from outside of our network.

 

3. I've confirmed that my code is actually working correctly by manually submitting a POST request mimicing the relay response using Fiddler Web Debugger:

    - x_response_code=1&x_response_reason_text=IT'S ALLLLLLL GOOD.&x_response_reason_code=999&x_avs_code=Y&x_Trans_ID=321&x_Auth_Code=321&x_Amount=19.99&x_invoice_num=HMO65SF_12345678

 

4. I've got 'x_relay_response' and 'x_relay_always' set to true in my SIM form.

 

5. The server that this site is running on has no firewall on it, so any and all internet traffic should have no trouble reaching out to it.

 

6. Here's my code for the response:

EnableViewStateMac="false" on both your SIM form page and the relay response page.

Hi RaynorC1emen7,

 

I've added this to both of my aspx pages - SIM form and relay response - and it's still giving me the same timeout error.

Just try it to post to your relay response url

getting. Look like you need to add the key in your webconifg

 

Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.

Wow, thank you so much. Added that to my config file, and the relay response finally works!

 

Would you mind explaining the "what" and "why" of that property - since the relay response apparently doesn't work without it? I looked at the limited MSDN documentation on that property, but I was hoping you could offer a more layman's terms explanation of it.

 

Thanks again!

Pretty much just like what they said. The ViewStateMac use the key in the config file to encrypted the viewstate. If it doesn't decrypted, they know the viewstate been tempered with.

And the key are auto-generated when you install iis(or is the the web site??) so if you run it on a web farm setting it in the config file would make sure they are all the same.
