makincash Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Whatever was wrong seems to magically be gone as Medved can once again Authorize with Questrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Maybe they were doing some maintenance at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Response from Questrade: " We introduced a Web Application Firewall (WAF) blocking page that is hosted on the Questrade.com domain. This is an added security measure to protect the data on both Questrade.com and the Questrade customer site. 1) The Web Application Firewall protects against the most critical web application security risks such as illegal access. 2) The WAF examines web traffic to Questrade.com or the Questrade customer site. If the traffic is classified as illegitimate according to rules determined by Questrade, the WAF blocks this traffic and redirects the user to an Access Denied page. It is important to note that this WAF blocking page is something that can occur sometimes for clients, but this is more of a side-effect of providing additional protection to our website. If you ever do experience this issue for an extended time period, then clearing cache and cookies should immediately resolve this redirect issue. Alternatively, a different web browser or device should be a quick workaround, as well. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted October 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Update...... Cache clearing did nothing but cause a new problem message since the browser window Medved spawned (IE) lost it primary authentication with Questrade, had to open IE and login to questrade.com with secondary authentication question to fix this. Fix seemed to be going into Questrade.com disabling the API integration and re-enabling it. Supposedly Questrade is investigating potential issues with the new firewall they implemented.
