Connecting to BoA (California)

[Christopher Singley]

Looks like you're connecting to the server, but failing OFX signon.

Definitely worth trying whatever FID they self-report in .qfx downloads.

Sometimes FIs get touchy about client versions they're willing to support
(I think it's an Intuit licensing cost issue)... is there a knob in GnuCash
to tweak the APPVER to the latest & greatest for APPID QWIN?  What are they
up to now, APPVER=2200?

You might also be getting stopped out if BofA's server is failing parsing
because GnuCash is sending straight OFX without the private INTU XML
attributes... try sending APPVER=Money, APPID=1600 (although that's getting
pretty damned long in the tooth & may no longer be supported)... but MSFT
did use plain-vanilla OFX for their product.  Worth a shot.

(BTW not that it's relevant, but does anybody know why BofA is flying
colors ORG=HAN?  Usually mismatched tags indicate legacies from M&A, but
Manny Hanny went to Chemical & thence to JPM, not BofA ... is HAN some OFX
server software vendor?)
