5SSL_set_connect_state, SSL_get_accept_state - prepare SSL object to work in client or server mode

8
9 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
10
11 void SSL_set_connect_state(SSL *ssl);
12
13 void SSL_set_accept_state(SSL *ssl);
14
15=head1 DESCRIPTION
16
17SSL_set_connect_state() sets B<ssl> to work in client mode.
18
19SSL_set_accept_state() sets 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(3).)
29
30When beginning a new handshake, the SSL engine must know whether it must
31call the connect (client) or accept (server) routines. Even though it may
32be clear from the method chosen, whether client or server mode was
33requested, the handshake routines must be explicitly set.
34
35When using the L<SSL_connect(3)|SSL_connect(3)> or
36L<SSL_accept(3)|SSL_accept(3)> routines, the correct handshake
37routines are automatically set. When performing a transparent negotiation
38using L<SSL_write(3)|SSL_write(3)> or L<SSL_read(3)|SSL_read(3)>, the
39handshake routines must be explicitly set in advance using either
40SSL_set_connect_state() or SSL_set_accept_state().
41
42=head1 RETURN VALUES
43
44SSL_set_connect_state() and SSL_set_accept_state() do not return diagnostic
45information.
