[Quickfix-developers] Restricting quickfix acceptor access by IP

[J. S. M. <j.s...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

In my fix application (server), I would like to restrict access by
both SenderCompID and IP address. That is, I want to enforce that
SenderCompID A can only login from IP X and SenderCompID B can only
login from IP Y. Because this depends on data in the fix protocol, a
simple firewall will not work without deep packet inspection. Ideally,
my application will perform the filtering.

However, it doesn't look like the QuickFix api exposes the client IP.
Is this correct?

Thank you for any help,

Scott
