Sorry can not edit the above comment. Just read the SSLFilter javadoc, setUseClientMode(false) seems correct
What we are missing is a flag to enable the needClientAuth on the sslFilter to enable client certificate authentication

Is there any work planned for this?

I have edited the issue description. No, currently there are no plans to implement it.

Hi Christoph, I am wondering if there have been any changes on this? I think there is value in allowing a quickfixj acceptor to authenticate the client connecting to it. Thanks.

Hi, I do not doubt that this would be sensible but at the moment I have very little time to work on this and there are still some pull requests open to be merged. Best thing would be if someone submitted a pull request for this.

https://github.com/quickfix-j/quickfixj/pull/49

Contains fixes for QFJ-838 and QFJ-854 as well as I wanted to execute full test suite.

Great, thanks. Just merged.

Hello,

From what I can see in the lines where it is failing is that it tries to create files in the temporary directory. Do you have write access there?

But actually this belongs onto the quickfixj-users group: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/quickfixj-users

Thanks
