The LinkPoint API system requires that you provide the API with an RSA & CRT that is issued to your at the time your gateway was activated. If you did not receive this in your activation, please contact LinkPoint before activating in AutoPilot or the gateway will not work.

A) Updating your Key (.pem) File
1.) download (or edit before upload) /inc/lpnt.pem
2.) Copy all characters beginning with the line that states, “—–BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY—–” through the end it states, “—–END CERTIFICATE—–”.
3.) paste contents into the lpnt.pem file and save
4.) upload ( in BINARY ) to your /inc folder

B) Activating the gateway in your “Payment Gateway” configuration area.

1.) Place your store ID into the ID block
2.) choose your charge type
SALE ==> clients card will be authorized & captured upon order completion
PREAUTH ==> clients card will be authorized for the amount of the sale
** after validation, you would then need to login to LinkPointCentral.com and perfom a ticket sale **
3.) click update

No changes need to be made to any packages or any other settings in your AutoPilot.

You will notice after you activate the gateway that a new link will appear in your “General Links” area:

Manage LinkPoint Periodic Billings

This module was written to handle two of the items required for LinkPoint and periodic billing through linkpoint.

[a] the initial sale can only be one value, hence, a one time payment but we took it to the next level
[b] a periodic billing record generated that will create a recurring record at linkpoint

ORDER PROCESS:

Your clients will go through the order system as normal, and end up at a ‘credit card’ input screen where they would input their billing details and submit. NOTE: THIS REQUIRES YOU TO SECURE YOUR ORDER PAGES BEHIND SSL

Once the order is completed, AutoPilot will create a ‘pending periodic billing record’ that you can view from the menu on the main page “Manage LinkPoint Periodic Billings [ 1 Open ]“

Inside that area you will see all pending & completed periodic billings generated through AutoPilot. ( later, we will add in options to edit & cancel recurrings through here as well ).

To activate a periodic billing record, all you need to do is view the record and click “Send to Linkpoint”. You will get a confirmation via eMail from LinkPoint and the record will revert to the ‘completed’ area in your main LinkPoint viewing are

Vi IMproved, is an open-source, multiplatform text editor extended from vi.
In1991, Bram Moolenaar released this version, thereafter various features have been added to it, which helps in editing program source code. It is one of the most popular editors for programmers and users of Unix-like operating systems, along with Emacs.

It basically consists of a virtual server which, in turn, consists of an IP address and port. This virtual server is bound to a number of physical services running on the physical servers in a server farm. These physical services contain the physical server’s IP address and port. A client sends a request to the virtual server, which in turn selects a physical server in the server farm and directs this request to the selected physical server.

Persistence can be configured on a Virtual Server; once a server is selected, subsequent requests from the client are directed to the same server. Persistence is necessary in applications where state is maintained on the server, such as a shopping cart application.

a) It can be used to increase the capacity of a server farm beyond that of a single server.
b) It can also allow the service to continue even in the face of server down time due to server failure or server maintenance.
c) Different virtual servers can be configured for different sets of physical services, such as TCP and UDP services in general. Protocol- or application-specific virtual servers that may be supported include HTTP, FTP, SSL, SSL BRIDGE, SSL TCP, NNTP and DNS.
d) It manages the selection of an appropriate physical server in a server farm.
e) It performs server monitoring of services in a Web servers farm. In case of failure of a service, the load balancer continues to perform load balancing across the remaining services that are UP. In case of failure of all the Dedicated servers bound to a virtual server, requests may be sent to a backup virtual server (if configured) or optionally redirected to a configured URL. For example, a page on a local or remote server which provides information on the site maintenance or outage.
