NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

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

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <openssl/ssl.h>

       void SSL_set_connect_state(
               SSL *ssl ); void SSL_set_accept_state(
               SSL *ssl );

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The SSL_set_connect_state() function sets ssl to  work  in
       client mode.

       The  SSL_set_accept_state()  function  sets ssl to work in
       server mode.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       When the SSL_CTX object was created with SSL_CTX_new(), it
       was either assigned a dedicated client method, a dedicated
       server method, or a generic method, that can be  used  for
       both  client  and  server  connections.  (The method might
       have  been  changed  with   SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version()   or
       SSL_set_ssl_method().)

       When  beginning  a new handshake, the SSL engine must know
       whether it  must  call  the  connect  (client)  or  accept
       (server)  routines.  Even  though it may be clear from the
       method  chosen,  whether  client  or   server   mode   was
       requested,  the handshake routines must be explicitly set.

       When using the SSL_connect() or SSL_accept() routines, the
       correct  handshake  routines  are automatically set.  When
       performing a transparent negotiation using SSL_write()  or
       SSL_read(),  the handshake routines must be explicitly set
       in  advance  using   either   SSL_set_connect_state()   or
       SSL_set_accept_state().

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The   SSL_set_connect_state()  and  SSL_set_accept_state()
       functions do not return diagnostic information.
