Setting this value to 0 disables this feature.

This value sets the maximum amount of idle time between billers in a cascade. It is set to 10 mins (600 seconds) by default.
CASCADE_SECURITY_NO_SESSION

CASCADE_SECURITY_NO_STATUS
Prevents cascading members who already joined. If the member fills out a pre-join form, they are immediately sent to the approval URL.
CCBILL_USE_SINGLE_OPTION
CCBill lets surfers select any join option you set up on CCBill's website -- even if the join option isn't enabled in NATS. This feature locks the drop-down on CCBill's join form so only the option selected on the NATS join form can be selected.

DISABLE_AUTO_CAMPAIGNS
Stop NATS from letting affiliates add the variable autocamp=<campaign> to the end of a linkcode to dynamically create a new campaign.
DISABLE_REDIRECT_ON_BAD_CODE

Sends errors in NATS to a Too Much Media server. We'll notify you if anything needs to be fixed.

iBill allows surfers select any join option you set up on iBill's website -- even if the join option isn't enabled in NATS. This feature locks the drop-down on iBill's join form so only the option selected on the NATS join form can be selected.
PAYOUT_AUTOSTORE
Stores payment dumps immediately after they are formed. You can find the payment dump in the Payments Admin in the Stored Payments section. This feature prevents forgetting to mark dumps as paid.

PAYOUT_PERIOD
Sets which days end a Period. At the end of a period, NATS makes a payment dump. The value can be days of the month (e.x 1, 15, or 30) or days of the week (w1 is Monday, w2 is Tuesday, etc...) The default value is the 1st and the 16th of the month. If you want this value changed, please contact support.
POST_ACCOUNT_CHANGES
Any changes to an affiliate's account are sent to this URL.
PROJECT_HOSTNAME
Your program's domain. If you change this, you should setup an Apache virtual host for the hold value so that your old links continue to work. Warning: setting this to a bad value will break NATS.
PROJECT_NAME / NICE_NAME
Used on various NATS templates to print the name of your NATS. For example: NICE_NAME is used to name the news section on members.php. You can change these to anything.

If enabled, every affiliate is immediately set to disabled when they sign-up. You must go to the Reseller Admin and activate them before they can start making referrals.

http://domain/signup_verify.php?lid={$memberid}&verify={$verify}
Replace domain with your Domain.
SHOW_ALL_LINKCODES
When enabled, NATS lists all linkcode combinations (campaign, site, and program) automatically on the linkcodes page so affiliates don't need to make selections.

Identify your system for the auto license update. If you change or removed this without contacting TMM first, the license update will fail and you will need to put it on the server manually.
