Topic: Can not connect to Northern Trust - Bank

Was working fine till Feb 23.  Now it gives me a Http 400 (Bad request) error.  Called the bank and they said nothing has changed.

If I just send the SIGNON message set and nothing else it works fine.  If I include a Profile request with the SIGNON I get the 400 error.

I notice this site is able to validate the Northern Trust site so maybe I had an error in my OFX all along.  Below is the OFX that I am using.  Let me know if you see any problems.

Re: Can not connect to Northern Trust - Bank

In case others of this problem I got it to work by changing the URL to https://www03310.ntrs.com/nta/ofxservlet

Re: Can not connect to Northern Trust - Bank

Looking at the Profile responce it appears the correct URL should be https://ofx.ntrs.com/nta/ofxservlet

Both 03310 and ofx work but my bet is on ofx as the proper one to use.
