const unsigned char *

SSL_SESSION_get0_id_context(const SSL_SESSION *s, unsigned int *len);

int

SSL_SESSION_set1_id_context(SSL_SESSION *s, const unsigned char *sid_ctx, unsigned int sid_ctx_len);

Overview

SSL_SESSION_get0_id_context() returns the ID context associated with s. The length of the ID context in bytes is written to *len if len is not NULL.

SSL_SESSION_set1_id_context() takes a copy of the provided ID context given in sid_ctx and associates it with the session s. The length of the ID context is given by sid_ctx_len which must not exceed SSL_MAX_SID_CTX_LENGTH bytes.

Return values

SSL_SESSION_get0_id_context() returns an internal pointer to an object maintained within s that should not be freed by the caller.

SSL_SESSION_set1_id_context() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
