QuickFIX does not support SSL directly, as it would need to link with
something like OpenSSL to do so. What you want to do is go get stunnel,
which uses OpenSSL to create an SSL tunnnel. You then run stunnel in
acceptor mode on a local port and point it at the remote port, and then
point QuickFIX at the local port for stunnel. QuickFIX connects to
stunnel, which then encrypts the information in SSL and forwards it on
to the place you want the SSL connection to go to.

This works great, and is exactly the sort of thing that Stunnel is
designed for.
