SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3)   OpenSSL   SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3)



NAME

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


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

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



DESCRIPTION

       SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() sets a new default TLS/SSL
       method for SSL objects newly created from this ctx. SSL
       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 TLS/SSL method for a par-
       ticular ssl object. It may be reset, when SSL_clear() is
       called.

       SSL_get_ssl_method() returns a function pointer to the
       TLS/SSL 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 SSL object, the method of the SSL object is reset to
       the method currently set in the corresponding SSL_CTX
       object.


RETURN VALUES

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

       0   The new choice failed, check the error stack to find
           out the reason.

       1   The operation succeeded.
