NAME
SSL_set_connect_state, SSL_get_accept_state - prepare SSL object to work in client or server modeSYNOPSIS
#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 theSSL_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().
