The method is easy. The process is complex... How will you secure the transmission of this sensitive data??

To use the WebRequest() function, add the addresses of the required servers in the list of allowed URLs in the "Expert Advisors" tab of the "Options" window. Server port is automatically selected on the basis of the specified protocol - 80 for "http://" and 443 for "https://". The WebRequest() function is synchronous, which means its breaks the...

There's not much you really need to do except force redirects to https and make sure you use https in your WebRequest from MQL. I assume you want an EA to send an authentication request to your API with the active account number and name, and then your API sends back a response signaling the EA that it has or has not been authenticated?

That's a server side issue and not appropriate to discuss on this forum. If you need help with SSL certificates and forcing https traffic then you'll need to address that elsewhere. As for MQL you'll need to use the JSON serializer and the built-in WebRequest, and that's it.

I would never recommend any Security standard. It is up to you to figure it out.

1- Your environment.

2- You Clients.

3- Your Security.

Securing your Web exposure is the most crucial, to avoid exploits. At least follow the OWASP rules as the minimum for your internet comm... (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Main_Page)
