Topic: Ameritrade OFX - Invalid login error

We are trying to connect the Ameritrade but OFX is returning 15500 error code (Signon Invalid). User is able to access his account with same credentials by using the 'https://wwws.ameritrade.com/cgi-bin/apps/LogIn'. We tested this with APPID as QWIN and without.


OFX_TAG_VERSION_211
OFX_TAG_USERID, userID
OFX_TAG_USERPASS, password
OFX_TAG_ORG, "Ameritrade"
OFX_TAG_FID, "5024"     
OFX_TAG_APPID, "QWIN"
OFX_TAG_APPVER, "1800"
OFX_TAG_TRNUID, 123124
OFX_TAG_DTACCTUP, "19900101"

Please advise if i am missing anything.

Re: Ameritrade OFX - Invalid login error

You can try the ORG tag "ameritrade.com" instead of "Ameritrade".
You can try APPID "QWIN" with an APPVER of 2100 or so or at least 2000.
You didn't say, but the url is "https://ofxs.ameritrade.com/cgi-bin/apps/OFX"
The user may require different credentials from the institution's web site login. OFX is frequently provided separately from the web site.

I sometimes find it easier to just call the provider and ask for someone who handles quicken, direct connect, online banking, or OFX support.
