|
|
\&\fISSL_CTX_new()\fR creates a new \fB\s-1SSL_CTX\s0\fR object as framework to establish
|
|
\&\s-1TLS/SSL\s0 enabled connections.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
The \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 object uses \fBmethod\fR as connection method. The methods exist
|
|
in a generic type (for client and server use), a server only type, and a
|
|
client only type. \fBmethod\fR can be of the following types:
|
|
.Ip "SSLv2_method(void), SSLv2_server_method(void), SSLv2_client_method(void)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "SSLv2_method(void), SSLv2_server_method(void), SSLv2_client_method(void)"
|
|
A \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 connection established with these methods will only understand
|
|
the SSLv2 protocol. A client will send out SSLv2 client hello messages
|
|
and will also indicate that it only understand SSLv2. A server will only
|
|
understand SSLv2 client hello messages.
|
|
.Ip "SSLv3_method(void), SSLv3_server_method(void), SSLv3_client_method(void)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "SSLv3_method(void), SSLv3_server_method(void), SSLv3_client_method(void)"
|
|
A \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 connection established with these methods will only understand the
|
|
SSLv3 protocol. A client will send out SSLv3 client hello messages
|
|
and will indicate that it only understands SSLv3. A server will only understand
|
|
SSLv3 client hello messages. This especially means, that it will
|
|
not understand SSLv2 client hello messages which are widely used for
|
|
compatibility reasons, see SSLv23_*\fI_method()\fR.
|
|
.Ip "TLSv1_method(void), TLSv1_server_method(void), TLSv1_client_method(void)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "TLSv1_method(void), TLSv1_server_method(void), TLSv1_client_method(void)"
|
|
A \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 connection established with these methods will only understand the
|
|
TLSv1 protocol. A client will send out TLSv1 client hello messages
|
|
and will indicate that it only understands TLSv1. A server will only understand
|
|
TLSv1 client hello messages. This especially means, that it will
|
|
not understand SSLv2 client hello messages which are widely used for
|
|
compatibility reasons, see SSLv23_*\fI_method()\fR. It will also not understand
|
|
SSLv3 client hello messages.
|
|
.Ip "SSLv23_method(void), SSLv23_server_method(void), SSLv23_client_method(void)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "SSLv23_method(void), SSLv23_server_method(void), SSLv23_client_method(void)"
|
|
A \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 connection established with these methods will understand the SSLv2,
|
|
SSLv3, and TLSv1 protocol. A client will send out SSLv2 client hello messages
|
|
and will indicate that it also understands SSLv3 and TLSv1. A server will
|
|
understand SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLSv1 client hello messages. This is the best
|
|
choice when compatibility is a concern.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The list of protocols available can later be limited using the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2,
|
|
SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1 options of the \fB\f(BISSL_CTX_set_options()\fB\fR or
|
|
\&\fB\f(BISSL_set_options()\fB\fR functions. Using these options it is possible to choose
|
|
e.g. \fISSLv23_server_method()\fR and be able to negotiate with all possible
|
|
clients, but to only allow newer protocols like SSLv3 or TLSv1.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fISSL_CTX_new()\fR initializes the list of ciphers, the session cache setting,
|
|
the callbacks, the keys and certificates, and the options to its default
|
|
values.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
|
|
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
|
|
The following return values can occur:
|
|
.Ip "\s-1NULL\s0" 4
|
|
.IX Item "NULL"
|
|
The creation of a new \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 object failed. Check the error stack to
|
|
find out the reason.
|
|
.Ip "Pointer to an \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 object" 4
|
|
.IX Item "Pointer to an SSL_CTX object"
|
|
The return value points to an allocated \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 object.
