#### 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:

1. Select Anti-Fraud Manager from the Commerce Director submenu.
2. Click Anti-Fraud Plug-ins on the Anti-Fraud Manager submenu.
3. From the list of anti-fraud plug-ins that appears, select the IP Country plug-in.
4. 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.
5. Click the Edit button.
6. 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.
7. To save changes, click the Update button.
