5SSL_set_session - set a TLS/SSL session to be used during TLS/SSL connect
6
7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
10
11 int SSL_set_session(SSL *ssl, SSL_SESSION *session);
12
13=head1 DESCRIPTION
14
15SSL_set_session() sets B<session> to be used when the TLS/SSL connection
16is to be established. SSL_set_session() is only useful for TLS/SSL clients.
17When the session is set, the reference count of B<session> is incremented
18by 1. If the session is not reused, the reference count is decremented
19again during SSL_connect(). Whether the session was reused can be queried
20with the L<SSL_session_reused(3)> call.
21
22If there is already a session set inside B<ssl> (because it was set with
23SSL_set_session() before or because the same B<ssl> was already used for
24a connection), SSL_SESSION_free() will be called for that session.
25This is also the case when B<session> is a NULL pointer. If that old
26session is still B<open>, it is considered bad and will be removed from the
27session cache (if used). A session is considered open, if L<SSL_shutdown(3)> was
28not called for the connection (or at least L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)> was used to
29set the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state).

31=head1 NOTES
32
33SSL_SESSION objects keep internal link information about the session cache
34list, when being inserted into one SSL_CTX object's session cache.
35One SSL_SESSION object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore
36only be used with one SSL_CTX object (and the SSL objects created
37from this SSL_CTX object).
