8
9 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
10
11 void SSL_set_connect_state(SSL *ssl);
12
13 void SSL_set_accept_state(SSL *ssl);

15=head1 DESCRIPTION
16
17SSL_set_connect_state() B<ssl> to work in client mode.
18
19SSL_set_accept_state() B<ssl> to work in server mode.

21=head1 NOTES
22
23When the SSL_CTX object was created with L<SSL_CTX_new(3)|SSL_CTX_new(3)>,
24it was either assigned a dedicated client method, a dedicated server
25method, or a generic method, that can be used for both client and
26server connections. (The method might have been changed with
27L<SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3)|SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3)> or
28SSL_set_ssl_method().)
29
30In order to successfully accomplish the handshake, the SSL routines need
31to know whether they should act in server or client mode. If the generic
32method was used, this is not clear from the method itself and must be set
33with either SSL_set_connect_state() or SSL_set_accept_state(). If these
34routines are not called, the default value set when L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)>
35is called is server mode.
36
37=head1 RETURN VALUES
38
39SSL_set_connect_state() and SSL_set_accept_state() do not return diagnostic
40information.
