Guidelines for Modifying the AffiliateConfig.xml File
Use the following guidelines when you modify the AffiliateConfig.xml file:
- Use an XML editor.
- For configuration changes to take effect, save the AffiliateConfig.xml file and restart the web server.
- There must be a one-to-one correspondence between consumers and producers in the AffiliateConfig.xml file, regardless of whether a single consumer is associated with multiple producers, or one configuration file is being shared by multiple consumers. You must have one PerAffiliateInfo section associated with one PerPortalInfo section.
- Do not add extra spaces between the attribute name, the equals sign (=), and the attribute value.
- In XML, attribute values must always be enclosed in quotation marks, for example, LogToConsole="yes".
- The SharedSecret and the AffiliatePassword must be set by the EncryptKey utility; they cannot be changed in the file directly.
