Authentication Methods

See the table below for a list of cardholder authentication methods, which are used within the <AuthType> tag. In most cases an Authorisation type of 1 is sufficient, since there is separate SOAP header authentication to validate the user of the web service.

Auth Type	Description
1	Card number (PAN) or public token
2	Card number/public token & cardholder’s date of birth
3	Card number/public token & CVC2
4	Card number/public token & access code
5	Login ID – DO NOT USE
6	Card number and cardholder’s date of birth and cardholder’s last name
7	Full Track2
8	Card number & security data – DO NOT USE
