Hello
Ussually my clients get confused because they need to know the cardnumber, but to login into the client GUI the need to use the card alias.
Can I use the same number for both?
And how do I create them equal automatically?

By the way, can these numbers be sequential? like 100,101,102,etc?

Thanks
regards

You could do that, but I really wouldn't recommend it.

Your A2B card numbers should be protected with the same care your protect your credit card details. Anyone who knows your card number can call the A2B IVR and charge calls to your account.

There's another thread on a very similar topic.

I understand, but im implementing a system that doesnt authenticate with the card number.

>However, you can safely set their card-alias to be whatever you like, including their PSTN >number.

But how can I force card alias to be equal to card number during the process of automatic registration?
Thanks

You'll need to change the code involved. It should be a very simple change though, once you've found it.

Does someone has any idea where can I change the code to create "card alias" and "card number" with the same number, when an user automatically registers?

And how to make it sequential? like 100,101,102,etc?

Thanks

Just as a point to note, you are aware that the customer can log on to the Customer UI with their email address, which one hopes would be easier for them to remember than the card alias.

I didn't knew.... but that's perfect
This way users can login more easily, because everybody knows their email address.
Thanks a lot for the help

What I did is changed the login field to look at the Card number field in the database instead of the card_alias.

I will try to post a copy of my code today.
