[GNC] Using Quicken direct connect with USAA

Jon,

Disable SSL v3. Info at wiki.gnucash.org is wrong. It's not secure, and no
reputable financial institution should be supporting it for financial
transactions.

As of this moment, USAA is only supporting TLS 1.2 and 1.3, which are secure.
Suggest not setting any of the "special settings" options, and never enable SSL
v2 or v3 for any program, except for testing with non-sensitive data.

Subject: [GNC] Using Quicken direct connect with USAA

I have been using the Web Connect with USAA for years and that's worked great.
However now I see that they are discontinuing support for this feature. So I'm
trying to setup Direct Connect. I found the instructions for setting up USAA at
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings#USAA,
however I'm not seeing the "Server Capabilities" tab to select the account list
download options.

I'm using GnuCash 3.10 from flatpak.
I'm on Linux.

I have the following Settings:
"User Settings"
User Name, User id and Client UID all set to my USAA number. I have tried both
with the 00 prefix and without.

"Bank Settings"
Broker ID: 5874
FID: 24591
ORG: USAA
Server URL: https://service2.usaa.com/ofx/OFXServlet

"Application Settings"
I've tried the default application settings and the settings that should be for
Quicken 2017:
Application ID: QWIN
Application Version: 2600
Header Version: 102

Under "Special Settings" I've tried HTTP Version blank, 1.0 and 1.1.
I've checked "Force SSLv3".

When I go back to the "Bank Settings" tab I see the following after clicking on
"Retrieve Account List".

09:26:37 Sending request...
09:26:37 Using GnuTLS default ciphers.
09:26:37 TLS: SSL-Ciphers negotiated: TLS1.3:ECDHE-RSA-AES-256-GCM:AEAD
09:26:37 Waiting for response...
09:26:37 Operation finished, you can now close this window.

The AqBanking Setup never lets me get to the point of associating USAA accounts
with GnuCash accounts. Can someone give me some pointers on what is wrong here?

Thank you,
Jon
