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

Oh, I had put them into the .cfg file such as in the snippet below:

[SESSION]
TargetCompID=...
Username=the_username
Password=the_password

As of 1.9.4, quickfix would let you put anything you want into that 
SessionSettings; you'll have to check the code to make sure that's still 
the case.
