Configuring IP Country Plug-in
The IP Country anti-fraud plug-in checks whether a customer host location country and the country mentioned in his/her account profile are different.
The IP Country plug-in is shipped with the GeoIP Free Country database created by MaxMind.
The plug-in uses the GeoIP database in a binary form. Using the Parallels Business Automation - Standard Provider Control Center tools, a Provider can either update the MaxMind default database or replace it with a commercial one. The Reseller Control Center allows only viewing the plug-in settings.
Note: Please make sure that a new database is unpacked before uploading it into Parallels Business Automation - Standard.
To update or replace the GeoIP database used by the IP Country anti-fraud plug-in:
- Select Anti-Fraud Manager from the Commerce Director submenu.
- Click Anti-Fraud Plug-ins on the Anti-Fraud Manager submenu.
- From the list of anti-fraud plug-ins that appears, select the IP Country plug-in.
- On the plug-in screen, select the IP Country tab.
The IP Country plug-in IP Country screen displays the following:
- Size of file. The size of a GeoIP database currently used by the plug-in.
- Last modified. The date of the last modification (update or replacement) of the GeoIP database.
- GeoIP info. The short description of the current GeoIP database.
- Click the Edit button.
- You can update the database in one of the following ways:
- If you use the MaxMind free database and want to update it, click on the Update MaxMind GeoIP Country Database link.
- If you have a replacement for the current GeoIP database and want to use a new one, then either enter the path to the database file into the relevant field, or click the Browse button and locate the file.
- To save changes, click the Update button.
