Hi,
a few days ago, I ran an apt update of my debian/desting machine and got
a new gnucash version. Apt DID tell me that there was something to do to
keep gnucash working. I had no time to do that, then, but I was used to
getting the instructions per e-mail. But at the time my e-mail setup was
broken and I didn't notice. Bummer.
Now I need to use gnucash and online banking is completely broken. I
searched everywhere, found the hint in
/usr/share/doc/aqbanking-tools/README.keyfile-update, but that didn't
help...
I /think/ the message had something to do with moved configuration files
for gnucash, but am not sure.
Do you have any hint for me? I urgendly need gnucash for my homebanking...
TIA,
I looked through my mailbox and found the following:
----------8<----------
libaqbanking (5.99.43beta-2) unstable; urgency=medium
Important notice for users upgrading from versions prior to 6.x
===============================================================
With AqBanking 6.x (including the preceding 5.99.x beta versions) the file
location where AqBanking applications store their online banking related
settings got changed again. Previously the AqBanking settings were stored in
the directory ~/.aqbanking/settings/. After the upgrade settings are now
stored in the directory ~/.aqbanking/settings6/. This means without manual
interaction all the online banking account setup will be unavailable to the
applications using it.
Luckily a migration of the old settings to the new location is possible.
Just copy all files from ~/.aqbanking/settings/ to ~/.aqbanking/settings6
cd ~/.aqbanking
mkdir -p settings6
cp -r settings/* settings6
This should make the old online banking account settings available to the new
library version.
Updating the TAN methods to use for inline banking
--------------------------------------------------
Due to legal changes (PSD2) most banks in Germany were forced to switch to a
different TAN method for authorizing transactions. When upgrading from a
libaqbanking version prior to 6.x, outdated TAN methods might still be cached
in the library settings. Please follow these steps to update the TAN methods
for your accounts after the upgrade:
* in the online banking application open the settings dialog for AqBanking
(varies, depending on the used application)
* select the relevant user and click "Edit User"
* in the dialog please click the "Get Bank Info" button (this will
anonymously fetch the current bank and user parameter data from the
bank's server)
* in the dialog please click the "Get System Id" button (this will fetch
a new system identifier and the list of allowed TAN modes from the
bank's server)
* after success, select a TAN method attributed with "Version 6" or higher
* maybe close the dialog for now to open the "Edit User" dialog anew
* in the dialog click the "Retrieve Account List" button (this will fetch
the current account list from the bank's server, from now on TAN in
version 6 will be used).
In case you struggle with this update process, consider subscribing to the
https://mailman.aqbanking.de/listinfo/aqbanking-user mailing list and ask for
help (German and English language welcome).
