Re: [Quickfixj-users] SSL with QuickFIX/J 1.1.0

Christian,

I wanted to follow-up on this - did you ever manage to successfully
get QFJ and SSL to work together?

I'm writing an app that connects to a broker that requires SSL, and
I'm having issues with QFJ working out-of-the-box.

I'm not very familiar with how SSL works, but if I understand it
correctly, there are 3 ways SSL authenticates:
1. client authenticates just the server
2. server authenticates just the client
3. both client and server need to authenticate each other.

I think QFJ may only be covering case 2: it looks at trust stores only
in the Acceptor mode (AbstractSocketAcceptor), while for case 3 to
work I believe the initiator needs to have an SSL context as well.

Just wanted to run this past people to see if my understanding is
correct, and whether or not QFJ currently handles specifying certs for
outgoing connections.

thanks.
