Use of Libfineu Sandbox

Libeufin

Based on Libeufin you can add a stub for a bank backend.

Libeufin is an early project but tested with several German banks. We use two components:

  • Sandbox: The sandbox simulates the bank - or better expresses: the Ebics API of a bank.
  • Nexus: This software connects to the API of the bank - can also be used without the sandbox with a real bank.

Now you can use the ebics-java-service to trigger transaction which are reflected in the bank statements you can retrieve with the ebics-java-service.

Architecture Blueprint Sandbox and Libeufin

To run the Sandbox environment, three runtimes are needed:

  • Nexus: Connects to the banking API and offers a management interface
  • Sandbox: Fakes a banking backend - generates Camt files and interprets Pain files
  • Postgres: Database for Nexus

In contrast the the command line client, Nexus can connect to multiple bank accounts. Note that the ebics-java-service only wraps ONE account and can not deal with several accounts in the backend.

Sandbox Architecture

Notes on the balance of the account

The sandbox is not able to keep balances, so this is done in ebics-java-service. But after a restart of the service, the balance is reset to the value configured (default: 0) in the environment ACCOUNT_BALANCE or in the application-sandbox.yml config file.

Docker

Start the backend

Get latest images:

 docker-compose pull

In the project root of ebics-java-service:

 docker-compose up

After start, you should be able to open Swagger and get the latest bank statements. Expect [] to be the result if you did not make any transactions. Also you my log into Nexus with foo/superpassword to see transactions initiated via the API.

Change the setup of bank accounts

Change the setup script ./scripts/init_libeuin_sandbox.sh according to the documentation of libeufin.

Purge the backend and restart from scratch using using latest images called from the project-root:

 git pull
 docker-compose  stop
 docker-compose  rm
 docker-compose  pull
 docker-compose  up

Useful Curl statements

Set environment variables:

 export LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_URL=http://localhost:5000
 export LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME=foo
 export LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD=superpassword
 export LIBEUFIN_SANDBOX_URL=http://localhost:5016
 export CONNECTION_NAME=testconnection
 export SECRET=backupsecret
 export BACKUP_FILE=/app/backupfile
 export LOCAL_ACCOUNT_NAME=peggingaccount
 export EBICS_USER_ID=e36
 export EBICS_HOST_ID=testhost
 export EBICS_PARTNER_ID=e36
 export LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME=foo
 export LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD=superpassword

Get Camt.053 message directly from the sandbox:

 curl -d '{"iban":"DE18500105172929531881","type":53}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST $LIBEUFIN_SANDBOX_URL/admin/payments/camt

List connected bank accounts:

 curl -u $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME:$LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD \
  $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_URL/bank-accounts

Trigger transactions directly with the Nexus-API:

curl -X POST -u $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME:$LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD \
-d '{"iban":"CH1230116000289537312","bic":"HYPLCH22571","name":"test name","subject":"testsubject is here","amount":"EUR:12.21"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST \
 $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_URL/bank-accounts/CH2108307000289537320/payment-initiations 

curl -X POST -u $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME:$LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD \
  $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_URL/bank-accounts/CH2108307000289537320/payment-initiations/1/submit

curl -X POST -u $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME:$LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD \
-d '{"iban":"CH2108307000289537320","bic":"HYPLCH22571","name":"test name","subject":"testsubject is here","amount":"EUR:12.21"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST \
 $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_URL/bank-accounts/CH1230116000289537312/payment-initiations 

curl -X POST -u $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME:$LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD \
  $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_URL/bank-accounts/CH1230116000289537312/payment-initiations/2/submit

Read transactions from the Nexus API - first you need to fetch them, then you can show transactions:

 curl -X POST -u $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME:$LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD \
  $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_URL/bank-accounts/CH2108307000289537320/fetch-transactions

 curl -u $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_USERNAME:$LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_PASSWORD \
  $LIBEUFIN_NEXUS_URL/bank-accounts/CH2108307000289537320/transactions
