NAME

SSL_set_session - set a TLS/SSL session to be used during TLS/SSL connect

SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/ssl.h>

 int SSL_set_session(SSL *ssl, SSL_SESSION *session);

DESCRIPTION

SSL_set_session() sets session to be used when the connection is to be established. SSL_set_session() is only useful for 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(3) call.

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

objects keep internal link information about the session cache list, when being inserted into one object's session cache. One object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore only be used with one object (and the objects created from this object).

RETURN VALUES

The following return values can occur:

0

The operation failed; check the error stack to find out the reason.

1

The operation succeeded.
