NAME¶
SSL_set_connect_state, SSL_get_accept_state - prepare SSL object to work in
client or server mode
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_set_connect_state(SSL *ssl);
void SSL_set_accept_state(SSL *ssl);
DESCRIPTION¶
SSL_set_connect_state() sets
ssl to work in client mode.
SSL_set_accept_state() sets
ssl to work in server mode.
NOTES¶
When the SSL_CTX object was created with
SSL_CTX_new(3), it was either
assigned a dedicated client method, a dedicated server method, or a generic
method, that can be used for both client and server connections. (The method
might have been changed with
SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3) or
SSL_set_ssl_method().)
When beginning a new handshake, the SSL engine must know whether it must call
the connect (client) or accept (server) routines. Even though it may be clear
from the method chosen, whether client or server mode was requested, the
handshake routines must be explicitly set.
When using the
SSL_connect(3) or
SSL_accept(3) routines, the
correct handshake routines are automatically set. When performing a
transparent negotiation using
SSL_write(3) or
SSL_read(3), the
handshake routines must be explicitly set in advance using either
SSL_set_connect_state() or
SSL_set_accept_state().
RETURN VALUES¶
SSL_set_connect_state() and
SSL_set_accept_state() do not return
diagnostic information.
