Authorize.net Payment Processor Error message: 9003:MD5 Verification failed
November 25, 2008, 09:27:10 pm
I noticed a similar thread not to long ago, but didn't see a real fix.
I'm using Drupal 6.5/CiviCRM 2.1.2

The MD5 hash has been set correctly between Civi and Authorize.net, several times...

I am using the MC number from the Civi docs and Authorize.net is in test mode and I am using the test portion of the payment processor page in Civi

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Seems like I'm getting closer to having a fully functional site, and this is one of my last major hurdles.

Thank you to all help in these forums.

Can you remove MD5 and check if everything is working ?

Apparently not from Authorized.net's site.  Once it is set, their interface will not allow you to use a blank one.

Was this ever resolved?  I'm having the same issue, and have tried removing it in CIVICRM to no avail.  is this connected with the Address stnadardizations?  Here is the full error message:

Your USPS API Authorization has Failed. Your USPS API Authorization has Failed. Payment Processor Error message
: 9003:MD5 Verification failed

I spoke with Authorize.net.  The MD5 hash can not be removed at their end.  They told me to remove the MD5 hash code from my configuration. This stopped the error message.  Since this is only a quick fix, does anyone have the proper solution to allow the use of the MD5 hash?

Thanks

Nope, I just avoid using the MD5 hash with CiviCRM
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

FYI I ran into this problem in 3.3.1 when entering a contribution page where the title included a quotation mark as the final character (?!--yes, that appears to be the trigger).

This exposed a couple of additional problems:

 - The way CiviCRM handled the error isn't ideal (the transaction went through, a receipt was sent, the contact was recorded in the database, but the contribution wasn't recorded in the database).  This makes me worry that other transactions that actually occurred might not be recorded in the database under certain circumstances.

 - The MD5 hash checking is purely on the client side, so if we just omit the MD5 hash from CiviCRM's setup, its behavior should be to ignore the MD5 hash entirely (that's why authorize.net doesn't have a way to turn off the MD5 hash from their end--it should be simple to just turn it off on the client end)

 - Per the authorize.net documentation, the MD5 hash checking is completely irrelevant/unneeded when submitting transactions over SSL with AIM (which is what CiviCRM does).  So my suggestion would be to omit MD5 hash checking in CiviCRM altogether.  It doesn't help anything and can only cause problems.

I made a CiviCRM issue on this topic:

This problem is still happening in 4.0.6. 

I have taken out the MD5 and it is still giving the error.

Anyone know of a patch for the 4X branch.

Thanks,
Steve

There may be a problem with inclusion of illegal XML characters in fields submitted to authorize.net through 4.2.  This may or may not be your problem.

This could be in any field submitted to authorize.net such as the name of the payment page, the name of the payment field, one of the user's names, etc.

Those characters typically would be & < > " ' and -- (double dash).

See http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-10733, fix scheduled for 4.2.1.

Hi, I wanted to post a note that this is still an issue for me with CiviCRM 4.3.4. A member signed up with quotes " in their address, and the eProcessingNetwork AIM / Authorize.net emulation failed. Example:

Billing address:

123 North "D" Street.
Nowhere, ID 12345

The above address causes CiviCRM to throw the following error:

"9003: MD5 Verification failed"

I think I'll work around the issue by using JavaScript validation to error on foreign characters.

Thank you,
--Tony @drupleg
