NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version, SSL_set_ssl_method,
       SSL_get_ssl_method - choose a new TLS/SSL method

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #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    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() sets a new default TLS/SSL
       method for SSL objects newly created from this ctx. SSL
       objects already created with SSL_new(3) are not affected,
       except when SSL_clear(3) is being called.

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

       SSL_get_ssl_method() returns a function pointer to the
       TLS/SSL method set in ssl.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The available method choices are described in
       SSL_CTX_new(3).

       When SSL_clear(3) 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    [Toc]    [Back]

       The following return values can occur for
       SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() and SSL_set_ssl_method():

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

       1   The operation succeeded.
