Re: [Quickfix-users] settings file

Any additional fields you need to add to a logon message can be done from the toApp method.  This method gives you the opportunity to tack on any additional fields you want including passwords and such. This allows you to store your password in whatever secure manner you like instead of having to keep it lying around in a clear text file (you can of course do this as well :)

I am new to FIX and Quick FIX. We have a trade order management system that
runs on Windows provider by our broker. I want to automatically send trades
from Linux and they don't have a Linux API. However, the vendor will let me
send FIX messages to their server which will in turn be displayed on my Windows
client apps. So, I want to use QuickFIX as a sort of API.

I would think that I need to put account/password info into my QuickFIX
session settings file. However, I do not see that in the examples. What other
information should I need there? Please advise.

Thank you,
Marc
