Integration setup

Integration is configured in the process of creating a service processing module in BILLmanager.

To create a service processing module, enter IntegrationProcessing modules → click Add. The processing module adding wizard consists of the following steps:

  1. Product type: select "Domains".
  2. Processing module: select "ENOM".
  3. Integration settings. Specify the data for integration:
    1. API URL — address of the server that will receive requests. ENOM address is https://reseller.enom.com/interface.asp;
    2. Username — account name in the registrar's system;
    3. Password — the account password;
    4. Check domain status via API — select this check box to determine the availability of a domain via domain registrar’s API rather than WHOIS.
  4. Processing module parameters. Configure internal (within BILLmanager) parameters of the service processing module:
    1. Data center — select the data center in BILLmanager to which the processing module will be connected.
    2. Name — specify the name of the processing module to be displayed in the BILLmanager interface.
    3. Department — select the department to which tasks from the processing module will be assigned.
    4. Sort — specify the processing module’s priority. If more than one processing module is connected to a tariff plan, the processing module with the lowest priority is selected first when creating the service.
    5. Processing module minimal balance — specify the minimum amount on the personal account in the system to purchase services. For more information, see Processing Module Balance.

Connection test

On the last step, BILLmanager tries to connect to the registrar with the data you have specified.

If connection ends up with the error: Cannot connect to the processing module, we recommend to check that:

  • connection data is correct;
  • The URL address of the registrar is accessible from the server with BILLmanager;
  • you can execute API calls from the IP address of BILLmanager from your account in the registrar system.

Logging

Log of interaction between ENOM and the billing platform is recorded in file /usr/local/mgr5/var/pmenom.log.

You can add string "pmenom.* 9" to file /usr/local/mgr5/etc/debug.conf to display more information in the log.
