Netcetera Demo Merchant (NDM) Simulator Documentation

The Netcetera Demo Merchant (NDM) Simulator serves as a helping component to the 3DS Server in order to complete the whole 3-D Secure flow for testing purposes. Depending on the need, it simulates а Directory Server, an ACS or a 3DS Requestor behaviour.

The NDM Simulator:

  • simulates different scenarios of a Directory Server returning a preparation response (valid PRes containing ADD/DELETE card range data, valid PRes without card range data, PRes with invalid serial number, PRes that takes more time than allowed until it is returned, etc.)
  • simulates the ACS sending a 3DS Method response to the 3DS Method Notification URL
  • simulates different scenarios of a Directory Server response to an Authentication Request
  • simulates a Directory Server sending a RReq to the 3DS Server
  • simulates an ACS sending the final CRes to the 3DS Server3DS Server API
