Hi,
How should the FIX Server respond when User name and Password are correct, but NewPassword is not acceptable.

  • Should it Reject the login (Logout’s SessionStatus set to 3(New session password does not comply with policy))?

or

  • Accept the Login, but set Logon’s SessionStatus set to 3(New session password does not comply with policy)

Hi Asanka,

Whilst I could not find any documantation about this, I found at least one implementation the sends logout.

See section 4.2.2 in: http://borsaistanbul.com/docs/default-source/nasdaq-dokuman/genium-inet-fix-drop-copy-protocol-specification.pdf?sfvrsn=10
