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 various flows for testing purposes. Its primary focus is on the simulation flow of 3DS 2.x.

3DS 2.x flows simulation

Depending on the need, а 3DS 2.x Directory Server, a 3DS 2.x ACS or a 3DS Requestor behaviour is simulated. To support 3DS 2.x flows 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 3DS 2.x ACS sending a 3DS Method response to the 3DS Method Notification URL
  • simulates different scenarios of a 3DS 2.x 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 Server
