Re: [Quickfix-developers] FIX 4.3 logon message

[Grant B. <gbi...@co...>]

It is automatically sent when you start the initiator (or in the case
of an acceptor, it's automatically sent as a response).

Regarding username/password, this question comes up frequently.  You
can add the user/pass in the body of the toAdmin() callback, which is
called on any admin message right before it is sent.

It woud look something like this:

toApp(FIX::Message &msg, const FIX::SessionID &ses)
{
  MsgType type;
  msg.getHeader().getField(type);
  if(type.getValue() == "A"){
      //Make Changes (Add UserName/Password/Etc.)
  }
}

This question comes up so frequently that maybe it should be added to
the official FAQ.
