I am creating service in C# wich creates new Distributor , i could not generate Distributor Shared Secret for distributor being created. Can anyone tell what is the formula for Generating Shared Scret ?
Thanks

A shared secret is 20 bytes of binary data. I would suggest using random data... (and it is base64 encoded in the XML)

Thanks Jim,
Here is my c# code for creating distributor:
Xml:
<request action="create" auth="builtin" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/adept">
<nonce>rNfAkgAAAA4=</nonce>
<expiration>2011-06-20T12:07:58-00:00</expiration>
<distributorData>
<name>Shafqat</name>
<distributorURL>http://www.shafqat.com</distributorURL>
<notifyURL>http://www.shafqat.com/notify</notifyURL>
<description>description shfqat</description>
<maxLoanCount>9</maxLoanCount>
<linkExpiration>19</linkExpiration>
<sharedSecret>Q1nKX1RjimoVy5jzayWcYXe4xuU=</sharedSecret>
</distributorData>
<hmac>8SnrEtwNnDoXF4r4e0g8y27fveo=</hmac>
</request>
C#:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(new Uri("http://192.168.0.61:8080/admin/ManageDistributor"));
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "text/xml";
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream());
writer.Write(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xml));
writer.Close();
HttpWebResponse webReaponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(webReaponse.GetResponseStream());
Response.Write(reader.ReadToEnd());
reader.Close();
i could not get anything in response and niether distributor is created ? can you guess whats wrong with code?
Thanks, Shafqat.

With no response at all I would suspect that your handling of the HTTPWebRequest class is off. What happens when you use curl to do a post?

Thanks Jim,
I am not using CURL. This is simple asp.net/C# (.net framwork 4.0) code. When i execute that i gives error about content type. Invalid content type.

Oh so you are getting a response. I had noticed that you are setting the Content-Type to 'text/xml' instead of the correct value "application/vnd.adobe.adept+xml" - you will want to fix that.
