SSL_set_session(3)SSL_set_session(3)NAMESSL_set_session - Set a TLS/SSL session to be used during TLS/SSL con‐
nect
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_set_session(
SSL *ssl,
SSL_SESSION *session );
DESCRIPTION
The SSL_set_session() function sets session to be used when the TLS/SSL
connection is to be established. The SSL_set_session() function is only
useful for TLS/SSL clients. When the session is set, the reference
count of session is incremented by 1. If the session is not reused, the
reference count is decremented again during SSL_connect() Whether the
session was reused can be queried with the SSL_session_reused() func‐
tion .
If there is already a session set inside ssl (because it was set with
SSL_set_session() before or because the same ssl was already used for a
connection), SSL_SESSION_free() will be called for that session.
NOTES
SSL_SESSION objects keep internal link information about the session
cache list when being inserted into one SSL_CTX object's session cache.
One SSL_SESSION object, regardless of its reference count, must only be
used with one SSL_CTX object and the SSL objects created from this
SSL_CTX object.
RETURN VALUES
The following return values can occur: The operation failed; check the
error stack to find out the reason. The operation succeeded.
