Re: [Quickfix-developers] username / password in logon msg?

Alvin:

You can stuff the special fields into the outgoing Logon message by 
implementing the toAdmin callback.  In Java I do something like this for 
counterparties that use this type of authentication:

     if (message instanceof quickfix.fix43.Logon) {
       quickfix.fix43.Logon logon = (quickfix.fix43.Logon) message;
       try {
         String username = sessionSettings.getString(sessionId, "Username");
         logon.set(new quickfix.field.Username(username));
         String password = sessionSettings.getString(sessionId, "Password");
         logon.set(new quickfix.field.Password(password));
       }
       catch (Exception xx) {
         throw new RuntimeException("Username and Password must be specified in QuickFIX configuration");
       }
     }
