[Quickfix-developers] Another Logon Question

[Jon D. <jd...@Li...>]

Hello All,

I have somewhat of a long winded set of questions here, so bear with me =
please.

I have been working with the quickfix library for a few weeks now and =
have to say I love it.
The folks at thoughtworks have done a great job.

I have most of the functionality I need in a service but one thing - =
Logon's. It escapes me where I need
to authenticate a user against a db, flat file, etc. I have searched the =
mail lists for logons
(sourceforge really needs to improve their searches -- can you say =
google) and haven't really found anything
definitive.

So let's say I have a service started that is waiting for connection X =
to connect, what actually happens when
the client X connects to the service?

Where should the logon be handled and verified against a security =
identifier?
1. OnCreate
2. OnLogon
3. onMessage( FIX43::Logon&, FIX::SessionID&)
4. toAmdin

Thanks,

JD
