[Quickfix-developers] Question about Logon to server with username and password

[Cheng S. <che...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am using the tradeClient example coming from the quickfix download. I can
run the initiator successfully. Now I need to logon to the remote
server/broker with requirement of username and password.

After reading a lot of questions and answers on this mailist, my
understanding is that I have to provide information of username and
password inside the function of toAdmin().

In the Application.cpp, there is already toApp() function. So I wrote my
own toAdmin() function as below. But the VC++ studio gave me the error:
function 'void Applcation:toAdmin(FIX:: :Message& message, const
FIX::SessionID& sessionID) already has a body.

I have two questions here:
1. why I got such an error? I tried putting the code inside toApp()
function, but it couldn't connect to the server.
2. Is my implementation of providing username and password correct?

Any reply will be highly appreciated!

The below is the code inside the "Application.cpp".

void Application::toAdmin(FIX::Message& message, const FIX::SessionID&
sessionID)
{
try
{
//SenderSubID and compony ID
message.getHeader().setField(50, "107225");
message.getHeader().setField(115, "QUOTES");
//Username&Password
message.setField(553, "107225");
message.setField(554, "12345");
}
catch (FIX::FieldNotFound&) {}
std::cout << std::endl
<< "toAdmin OUT: " << message << std::endl;
}
