Where to enable SSL on script during login? about ibc HOT 4 CLOSED

You can't use IBC to automatically set the Use SSL checkbox when logging in.

Here's how to do it manually:

1. Open config.ini in a text editor..
2. Comment out the IbPassword line. (put a # at the start of the line) and save the file.
3. Run IBC.
4. At the login dialog, set Use SSL as required.
5. Enter your password.
6. Complete the login.
7. Edit config.ini to remove the comment.

Now the Use SSL checkbox will be set every time you start IBC, until you manually clear it.

Another way to do it is to locate the Jts.ini file in your TWS settings directory. Make sure it includes the line:

UseSSL=true

in the [Logon] section.

By the way, it appears that Gateway no longer offers an SSL option starting with (I think) Gateway 974. I presume it just always uses SSL.

Thank you very much for suggestions (^v^)

Just in case someone else bumps into this - my IB Gateway failed to start today on a server with this

I removed obsolete SSL settings from config.ini and realized jts.ini still had UseSSL=false, must have been set years ago. So it stopped working today and fix was setting it to true (deleting all-together might to the same)
