+
+Hi all developers,
+
+as you know, Gnucash includes support for the German online banking 
+protocol HBCI, and I usually emphasize that anyone outside Germany will 
+be unable to use all these cool features. But it recently came to my 
+mind that there is a test server, simulating a HBCI bank, which is run 
+by a friend of us (Stefan Palme), and he is able to give the Gnucash 
+developers something like a test account for, well, testing purposes.
+
+One authentification method of the HBCI protocol requires only a PIN for 
+login, and a TAN (transaction number) for each issued online order. We 
+can use this as a shared test account, because anyone who knows the PIN 
+(and some TANs) can use it. So I invite all you fellow developers to 
+install the HBCI features of gnucash, start the HBCI setup druid, setup 
+a Pin/Tan-based HBCI account, and just try out all the possible 
+features. Naturally, this test account won't move any real money around )
+
+(The Pin/Tan authentification method was added in 1.8.10 when changing 
+the HBCI library to Aqbanking. This method is rather insecure, but since 
+it is very simple to use there is quite some demand for it. So we 
+eventually implemented it in gnucash. I wouldn't recommend this for real 
+online banking if there is any of the other HBCI authentification 
+methods like chip cards or RSA keys available.)
+
+Here's what you need to enter in the HBCI setup druid:
+* "Use Pin/Tan mode"
+* Bank Code: 80007777
+   Server: www.hora-obscura.de/pintan/PinTanServlet 
+   (the URL changed on 2005-01-15)
+
+   User-Name: (something arbitrary; only for yourself)
+   User-Id: gnucash
+   Customer-Id: gnucash [or as a second customer: gnucash2]
+* Then press next all the time
+* For this user the PIN is: 12345
+* The setup druid should automatically recognize that this account 
+  offers access to the account numbers "2501111538" and "2501111539"
+* That finishes the setup.
+
+If you want to send money between these two account numbers back and 
+forth, you can do so by using any of the following TANs:
+                                  11111111
+                                  22222222
+                                  ...
+                                  99999999
+
+Enjoy! Don't hesitate to notify me if anything is broke.

+
+There's an administrator web frontend reachable under
+https://www.hora-obscura.de/hbci wheren the used TANs can be
+resetted. The password for this can be asked from Christian Stimming.
