Failover
Use this box to define one or more backup server profiles for the current primary server
profile.
Use these backup servers
Lists all backup server profiles for this primary server profile. Backup profiles are used in the
order that they appear in the list.
Available backup servers
Lists all server profiles of type backup.
Retries per server
Number of times that a record will be retransmitted before the next profile is tried.
Note This parameter also sets the number of retries on the primary.
Delay between retries
Amount of time to wait between retransmitting a record.
Security
Encryption and authentication can be used to increase the transmission security of billing
records.
HTTP authentication and secure HTTP using SSLv3 are supported. Also, to make sure that a
billing record has not been altered, a secret key, shared between the billing server and the
service controller, can be defined and used to produce a cryptographic signature of the billing
record.
Secret key
Specify the secret key that will be used to generate an encryption signature using HMAC-
SHA-1. The signature is generated using the entire contents of the billing record. (The
signature field is empty when the signature is calculated.)
Use HTTPS
When enabled, secure HTTP using SSLv3 is used to transmit records to all servers.
Validate server certificate
When enabled, the service controller will validate the external billing server certificate. For
this to be successful, you must install the billing server CA certificate in the Trusted CA
certificate store on the Security > Certificate stores page.
Use HTTP authentication
Enable this option if the billing server requires a username and password.
Fault tolerance
Fault tolerance settings control how many times each billing record is retransmitted.
