Yes, quickfix as of the time of writing does not support SSL out of the box. You will need to create a SSL tunnel from your machine manually to the host which requires SSL connectivity. You can do this via 'stunnel'. Posting some configuration below which can hopefully explain how it can be setup.

STUNNEL CONFIG

log = append
output = <path where logs will be written>

[client]
client = yes
accept = <port of your choosing on the local machine for quickfix>
connect = <ssl host you want to connect to>:<port>
verifyPeer = yes
CAfile = <path of certification provided by SSL host>
checkHost = <ssl host you want to connect to>
debug = debug

An example below

log = append
output = /home/user/logs

[client]
client = yes
accept = 1589
connect = 5.854.17.45:446
verifyPeer = yes
CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-cert.pem
checkHost = 5.854.17.45
debug = debug

QUICKFIX CONFIG

[DEFAULT]
<Other relevant settings>
SocketConnectPort=1589
SocketConnectHost=localhost

[SESSION]
