Since FIX Antenna C++/.NET version 2.13.0 and FIXEdge version 5.9.0 SSL built-in support has been introduced. Refer to How to configure SSL for FIX session in FIXEdge for details. However, you can continue use stunnel with accordance to the current article if you wish.

Simple configuration FIXEdge -> Stunnel -> SSL acceptor

Install stunnel

Download latest version installer from https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html

Run installer and answer questions to generate certificate.

Configure stunnel

Initiator FIX session

  • Run stunnel GUI Start from Start menuRun  
  • Edit stunnel.conf from stunnel system tray icon context menu
    • Add option 
      protocol = proxy
    • Comment example SSL services
    • Add SSL service
      [fix_initiator_session1_tunnel]
      client = yes
      accept  = 127.0.0.1:443
      connect = 63.247.113.201:443
  • Run Reload stunnel.conf from stunnel system tray icon context menu

Configure fix session

Initiator FIX session

FIXEdge.properties
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.SSLInitiator.Role = Initiator
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.SSLInitiator.Host = 127.0.0.1
FixLayer.FixEngine.Session.SSLInitiator.Port = 443

Complex configuration: Broker/Stock -> Broker's/Stock's Stunnel -> FIXEdge's Stunnel -> FIXEdge -> FIXEdge's Stunnel -> Broker's/Stock's Stunnel -> Broker/Stock

Server F (FIXEDGE):  y.y.y.y where FIXEdge is installed

Server B (BROKER):  x.x.x.x where SimpleClient #1 and SimpleClient #2 are installed. SimpleClient #1 will simulate Broker and SimpleClient #2 will simulate StockExchange.

SimpleClient #1 conf

SenderCompID = SC1
TargetCompID = FIXEDGE
Remote host = 127.0.0.1
Remote port = 444

Set ListenPort in engine.properties to 9107 (ListenPort = 9107)

SimpleClient #2 conf

Set ListenPort in engine.properties to 9106 (ListenPort = 9106)

How to use

  1. Start SimpleClient #2
  2. Start FIXEdge - session between FIXEdge and SimpleClient #2 (SC2) should be established
  3. Start SimpleClient #1 (SC1) and establish session with FIXEdge using parameters from point 3
  4. Send application level messages from SimpleClient #1 - message will be routed to SimpleClient #2
  5. Send application level messages from SimpleClient #2 - message will be routed to SimpleClient #1
