160\&\fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR checks, whether a session with id \fBid\fR
161(of length \fBid_len\fR) is already contained in the internal session cache
162of the parent context of \fBssl\fR.
163.SH "NOTES"
164.IX Header "NOTES"
165When a new session is established between client and server, the server
166generates a session id. The session id is an arbitrary sequence of bytes.
167The length of the session id is 16 bytes for SSLv2 sessions and between
1681 and 32 bytes for SSLv3/TLSv1. The session id is not security critical
169but must be unique for the server. Additionally, the session id is
170transmitted in the clear when reusing the session so it must not contain
171sensitive information.
172.PP
173Without a callback being set, an OpenSSL server will generate a unique
174session id from pseudo random numbers of the maximum possible length.
175Using the callback function, the session id can be changed to contain
176additional information like e.g. a host id in order to improve load balancing
177or external caching techniques.
178.PP
179The callback function receives a pointer to the memory location to put
180\&\fBid\fR into and a pointer to the maximum allowed length \fBid_len\fR. The
181buffer at location \fBid\fR is only guaranteed to have the size \fBid_len\fR.
182The callback is only allowed to generate a shorter id and reduce \fBid_len\fR;
183the callback \fBmust never\fR increase \fBid_len\fR or write to the location
184\&\fBid\fR exceeding the given limit.
185.PP
186If a SSLv2 session id is generated and \fBid_len\fR is reduced, it will be
187restored after the callback has finished and the session id will be padded
188with 0x00. It is not recommended to change the \fBid_len\fR for SSLv2 sessions.
189The callback can use the \fISSL_get_version\fR\|(3) function
190to check, whether the session is of type SSLv2.
191.PP
192The location \fBid\fR is filled with 0x00 before the callback is called, so the
193callback may only fill part of the possible length and leave \fBid_len\fR
194untouched while maintaining reproducibility.
195.PP
196Since the sessions must be distinguished, session ids must be unique.
197Without the callback a random number is used, so that the probability
198of generating the same session id is extremely small (2^128 possible ids
199for an SSLv2 session, 2^256 for SSLv3/TLSv1). In order to assure the
200uniqueness of the generated session id, the callback must call
201\&\fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR and generate another id if a conflict occurs.
202If an id conflict is not resolved, the handshake will fail.
203If the application codes e.g. a unique host id, a unique process number, and
204a unique sequence number into the session id, uniqueness could easily be
205achieved without randomness added (it should however be taken care that
206no confidential information is leaked this way). If the application can not
207guarantee uniqueness, it is recommended to use the maximum \fBid_len\fR and
208fill in the bytes not used to code special information with random data
209to avoid collisions.
210.PP
211\&\fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR will only query the internal session cache,
212not the external one. Since the session id is generated before the
213handshake is completed, it is not immediately added to the cache. If
214another thread is using the same internal session cache, a race condition
215can occur in that another thread generates the same session id.
216Collisions can also occur when using an external session cache, since
217the external cache is not tested with \fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR
218and the same race condition applies.
219.PP
220When calling \fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR for an SSLv2 session with
221reduced \fBid_len\fR, the match operation will be performed using the
222fixed length required and with a 0x00 padded id.
223.PP
224The callback must return 0 if it cannot generate a session id for whatever
225reason and return 1 on success.

177or external caching techniques.
178.PP
179The callback function receives a pointer to the memory location to put
180\&\fBid\fR into and a pointer to the maximum allowed length \fBid_len\fR. The
181buffer at location \fBid\fR is only guaranteed to have the size \fBid_len\fR.
182The callback is only allowed to generate a shorter id and reduce \fBid_len\fR;
183the callback \fBmust never\fR increase \fBid_len\fR or write to the location
184\&\fBid\fR exceeding the given limit.
185.PP
186If a SSLv2 session id is generated and \fBid_len\fR is reduced, it will be
187restored after the callback has finished and the session id will be padded
188with 0x00. It is not recommended to change the \fBid_len\fR for SSLv2 sessions.
189The callback can use the \fISSL_get_version\fR\|(3) function
190to check, whether the session is of type SSLv2.
191.PP
192The location \fBid\fR is filled with 0x00 before the callback is called, so the
193callback may only fill part of the possible length and leave \fBid_len\fR
194untouched while maintaining reproducibility.
195.PP
196Since the sessions must be distinguished, session ids must be unique.
197Without the callback a random number is used, so that the probability
198of generating the same session id is extremely small (2^128 possible ids
199for an SSLv2 session, 2^256 for SSLv3/TLSv1). In order to assure the
200uniqueness of the generated session id, the callback must call
201\&\fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR and generate another id if a conflict occurs.
202If an id conflict is not resolved, the handshake will fail.
203If the application codes e.g. a unique host id, a unique process number, and
204a unique sequence number into the session id, uniqueness could easily be
205achieved without randomness added (it should however be taken care that
206no confidential information is leaked this way). If the application can not
207guarantee uniqueness, it is recommended to use the maximum \fBid_len\fR and
208fill in the bytes not used to code special information with random data
209to avoid collisions.
210.PP
211\&\fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR will only query the internal session cache,
212not the external one. Since the session id is generated before the
213handshake is completed, it is not immediately added to the cache. If
214another thread is using the same internal session cache, a race condition
215can occur in that another thread generates the same session id.
216Collisions can also occur when using an external session cache, since
217the external cache is not tested with \fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR
218and the same race condition applies.
219.PP
220When calling \fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR for an SSLv2 session with
221reduced \fBid_len\fR, the match operation will be performed using the
222fixed length required and with a 0x00 padded id.
223.PP
224The callback must return 0 if it cannot generate a session id for whatever
225reason and return 1 on success.
