Customizing the WCMPIUser.properties file

After copying the properties files, open the WCMPIUser.properties file in a text editor. Change the configuration items to match your store environment:

WCMPI_UNENROLLED_CHECKOUT=YES
MPI_VERIFYERROR_CHECKOUT=NO

The merchant password stored in this file should be encrypted text. You must use the WebSphere Commerce encryption tool wcs_encrypt.bat to encrypt the password. This bat file resides in the WC_installdir/bin and WCDE_installdir/bin directories. To encrypt the merchant password...
