SSL enabled FIX sessions
The FIX Adapter does not support SSL natively. You can use an SSL wrapper to wrap the FIX connection inside SSL. For example, Stunnel (
www.stunnel.org). The setup will be something like the following:
FIX client connection to SSL enabled FIX adapter
SSL enabled FIX client connecting to FIX server
For example, if the remote server is running on remotehost:443, then in the stunnel configuration file on localhost the following configuration is needed:
[fix-adapter]
accept = 12345 (or any unused port number)
connect = remotehost:443
Then in the FIX Adapter configuration file, for the transport property QuickFIX.SocketConnectHost the value should be "localhost", and for property QuickFIX.SocketConnectPort the value should be "12345".
