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, SSL_METHOD ∗method ); int SSL_set_ssl_method(
        SSL ∗s, SSL_METHOD ∗method); SSL_METHOD ∗SSL_get_ssl_method(SSL ∗ssl) );

DESCRIPTION

The SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() function sets a new default TLS/SSL method for SSL objects newly created from this ctx. SSL objects already created with the SSL_new() function are not affected, except when the SSL_clear() function is called. 

The SSL_set_ssl_method() function sets a new TLS/SSL method for a particular ssl object. It may be reset, when SSL_clear() is called. 

The SSL_get_ssl_method() function 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() 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 the SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() and SSL_set_ssl_method() functions:

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

1The operation succeeded.
