    Hi Steve,

    There is a bug in Moneydance that causes issues with some banks when you are using Java 7. Basically, Java 7 excludes some less secure SSL certificate algorithms, but some banks still use certs with the outdated algorithm. We're working on a fix to this, but in the mean time you can just install the version of Moneydance that comes with Java6 built in to work around the issue. You also may want to contact your bank and request that they update their cert using a more secure algorithm.

    You can download the "with Java" version of Moneydance form this link: http://moneydance.com/download/2011/installers/moneydance.rpm

    Hope that helps. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance, and thanks for your interest in Moneydance!

    Hi Steve,

    In testing a fix to this ticket, I noticed that my bank (which recently became affected by this issue) was suddenly working. I then tested our connection to Fifth Third and PNC, and those appear to also be working. Are you still having trouble connecting in Moneydance with Java 7?

    Hi Steve,

    Great, thanks for checking! It looks like the bank's updated their certificates, and all is working properly now.
