SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl_ctx(3ssl)

SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl_ctx3ssl

Set context to configure

Usage

 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
 void SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl_ctx(SSL_CONF_CTX *cctx, SSL_CTX *ctx);
 void SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl(SSL_CONF_CTX *cctx, SSL *ssl);
 int SSL_CONF_CTX_finish(SSL_CONF_CTX *cctx);

Overview

SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl_ctx() sets the context associated with cctx to the SSL_CTX structure ctx. Any previous SSL or SSL_CTX associated with cctx is cleared. Subsequent calls to SSL_CONF_cmd() will be sent to ctx.

SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl() sets the context associated with cctx to the SSL structure ssl. Any previous SSL or SSL_CTX associated with cctx is cleared. Subsequent calls to SSL_CONF_cmd() will be sent to ssl.

The function SSL_CONF_CTX_finish() must be called after all configuration operations have been completed. It is used to finalise any operations or to process defaults.

Notes

The context need not be set or it can be set to NULL in which case only syntax checking of commands is performed, where possible.

Return values

SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl_ctx() and SSL_CTX_set_ssl() do not return a value.

SSL_CONF_CTX_finish() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
