[Kmymoney-devel] libOFX question (relates to recent OFX failures with Chase credit card downloads)

[Jack]

Some of you may have seen some other posts I've made about this, but I  
think I've tracked down the problem.

Background: last month Chase credit cards made a "security enhancement"  
change that has made all OFX downloads since 11/17 fail.  The error  
message says to got to the Chase secure message center for info on how  
to verify your identity, but no such message ever appears.  The section  
at  
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect_in_GnuCash_2#Chase_.22username_or_password_are_incorrect.22  
indicates the need for using a UID (user id) within the OFX request.   
It looks like they associate that user UID with the account, probably  
to limit access.  However, the first time they see a UID on an OFX  
request, they should generate a PIN and send it to your account at  
their Secure Message Center.  You then use that PIN on another page the  
message links to.  I suppose since KMM isn't sending the UID, they  
don't generate that message.

So - I don't see any place in KMM for a user UID.  In fact, looking  
into the libOFX source, I see the UUID type defined, but no element  
defined as that type which looks like a user id.  Can someone confirm  
this is correct, and if so, does this need to be brought up on the  
libOFX list before there is anything that KMM can do?  (Other forum  
messages I've seen seem to indicate that aqbanking can handle this, so  
I'll see if I can get this set up, but I hate to spin my wheels if  
someone can provide a more definitive answer.

Thanks.

Jack
