NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_get_default_timeout - get default session timeout
       value

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        long SSL_get_default_timeout(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_get_default_timeout() returns the default timeout
       value assigned to SSL_SESSION objects negotiated for the
       protocol valid for ssl.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Whenever a new session is negotiated, it is assigned a
       timeout value, after which it will not be accepted for
       session reuse. If the timeout value was not explicitly set
       using SSL_CTX_set_timeout(3), the hardcoded default timeout
 for the protocol will be used.

       SSL_get_default_timeout() return this hardcoded value,
       which is 300 seconds for all currently supported protocols
       (SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLSv1).
