Hi,

I'm trying to use OFXDirectConnect to download transaction data from BB&T.
When I set up the account through Tools|Online Banking Setup, I follow the
wizard prompts until it tries to make an initial handshake with the server.
It stops with this error message,

11:45:24 Retrieving SSL certificate
11:45:24 Connecting to server...
11:45:24 Using old SSL preparation code.
11:45:24 TLS Handshake Error: -12 (A TLS fatal alert has been received.)
11:45:25 Retrying to connect (SSLv3)
11:45:25 Using old SSL preparation code.
11:45:25 TLS Handshake Error: -12 (A TLS fatal alert has been received.)
11:45:25 Could not connect to server
11:45:25 Could not connect to server, giving up (-66)
11:45:25 Operation finished, you can now close this window.

The ssldump output tells me that this is a protocol version problem,

New TCP connection #14: *** <-> eftx.bbt.com(443)

I think, although I can't be sure, that the BB&T server doesn't support TLS
1.2, and this might be causing the problem. Any known solutions? Or, does
anybody have BB&T working for them?

I am using GnuCash 2.6.6 with libaqbanking 5.3.5beta-2 and libaqofxconnect.


Thanks,
Chris
