Hello,

What is the oldest version of AqBanking that runs OFXDirectConnect?

Can Aqbanking/OFXDC handle a server-side forced PIN change? When I  
signed up at my bank for Quicken access to a checking account, they  
sent me a PIN by mail with the explanation that I would have to  
change my PIN the first time I logged in. Within Quicken, that all  
went well. Things get a little more interesting, though, if I  
consider the gnucash/aqbanking community.

My bank is one that uses Yodlee as a branding intermediary between  
Quicken and the bank. The FIData files from the MSMoney development  
web site only give Yodlee data for such banks. That server data is  
useless for retrieving account and transaction data. However, once  
one connects in Quicken (and presumably MSMoney), the OFXLOG file  
written by Quicken contains the ofx server data required to connect  
via a normal ofx connection ( server url, <FID>, and <ORG> of the  
'real' server).

This is great news in that there is a good way of getting the data  
associated with checking accounts, and the data could conceivably be  
compiled outside the fidata source realm. But, if someone isn't  
already using Quicken, and they sign up with their bank hoping to use  
aqbanking or gnucash, it's possible they won't succeed even with the  
right ofx tags if they can't change the password when the server  
wants to force the issue.

I've written some documentation with respect to the AqBanking setup  
wizard accessed from GnuCash. The screenshots haven't made it up yet,  
but if you'd like to take a look and either comment or edit, it's at:

Thanks.
