Session InitiationAfter a successful SSL connection, the T4 FIX API basic requirement is to have both the Initiator and Acceptor start with sequence number 1. The client will initiate the FIX Session by sending a Logon Message to the T4 FIX API server. Successful authentication will be responded with a Logon message echo. The Password field (Password - Tag 554) of the API server logon message will be identified with an asterisk.
Drop of a physical connection will result in the end of a FIX Session. Upon reconnection, the client is required to start a new FIX Session with sequence number 1. The T4 API server will appropriately respond with messages starting with sequence number 1.
Authentication RequirementsAfter a successful physical connection to the T4 FIX API server, authenticated access is achieved with the following T4 input parameters in the client's Logon message:
Tag Name | Tag Number | Description |
---|
TargetCompId | 56 | T4 Firm |
SenderCompId | 49 | T4 Application Name |
SecureData | 91 | License Code for the T4 Application |
SecureDataLen | 90 | Length of License Code string |
UserName | 553 | T4 User |
Password | 554 | T4 Password |
Failure to provide the correct parameters in the Logon message will result in an logon failure. Appropriately, a
Logout message will be sent to the client. The
Logout message will contain a short description of the failure to help determine the cause of failed authentication. Thereafter, a physical disconnection will occur. As the FIX Session failed, the T4 FIX API will expect a new attempt for a new FIX session. The next Logon message (from the client) must start with sequence number 1.
