SSL_set_connect_state(3)    OpenSSL    SSL_set_connect_state(3)





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

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        void SSL_set_connect_state(SSL *ssl);

        void SSL_set_accept_state(SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
       SSL_set_connect_state() sets ssl to work in client mode.

       SSL_set_accept_state() sets ssl to work in server mode.

NOTES
       When the SSL_CTX object was created with SSL_CTX_new(3),
       it was either assigned a dedicated client method, a ded-
       icated 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(3)
       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(3) or SSL_accept(3) routines,
       the correct handshake routines are automatically set.
       When performing a transparent negotiation using
       SSL_write(3) or SSL_read(3), the handshake routines must
       be explicitly set in advance using either SSL_set_con-
       nect_state() or SSL_set_accept_state().

RETURN VALUES
       SSL_set_connect_state() and SSL_set_accept_state() do
       not return diagnostic information.
