NAME

SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version, SSL_set_ssl_method, SSL_get_ssl_method - choose a new TLS/SSL method

SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/ssl.h>

 int SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(SSL_CTX *ctx, const SSL_METHOD *method);
 int SSL_set_ssl_method(SSL *s, const SSL_METHOD *method);
 const SSL_METHOD *SSL_get_ssl_method(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION

SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() sets a new default method for objects newly created from this ctx. objects already created with SSL_new(3) are not affected, except when SSL_clear(3) is being called.

SSL_set_ssl_method() sets a new

method for a particular ssl object. It may be reset, when SSL_clear() is called.

SSL_get_ssl_method() returns a function pointer to the

method set in ssl.

NOTES

The available method choices are described in SSL_CTX_new(3).

When SSL_clear(3) is called and no session is connected to an

object, the method of the object is reset to the method currently set in the corresponding object.

RETURN VALUES

The following return values can occur for SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() and SSL_set_ssl_method():

0
