{{Quickfixn}} quickfix/n and SSL

[Andrew Culross]

You might want to shoot off an email to the sTunnel.org (stunnel-users at stunnel.org) mailing list if you haven't already - I'd be a little surprised if there wasn't a way to configure this in sTunnel.

Grant,
	They said that they don't support the way stunnel is doing the connection using a public key. They use private key with pass phrase only.
That is for the VCON (or FAXT) application in Bloomberg. I don't know of all the other interfaces they have.  I will also contact the guys from stunnel, maybe there is a way to use it with this private key and pass phrase method.
Thanks,
	Anmatr.

I don't follow.  That doesn't seem to make sense to me.

When you use Stunnel, you're just wrapping your connection in SSL.
>From Bloomberg's side, you just look like regular old SSL.  They don't know if you're using Stunnel or not.

Disclaimer: I haven't used Stunnel myself, but I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to work.
