1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5SSL_CTX_config, SSL_config - configure SSL_CTX or SSL structure 6 7=head1 SYNOPSIS 8 9 #include <openssl/ssl.h> 10 11 int SSL_CTX_config(SSL_CTX *ctx, const char *name); 12 int SSL_config(SSL *s, const char *name); 13 14=head1 DESCRIPTION 15 16The functions SSL_CTX_config() and SSL_config() configure an B<SSL_CTX> or 17B<SSL> structure using the configuration B<name>. 18 19By calling SSL_CTX_config() or SSL_config() an application can perform many 20complex tasks based on the contents of the configuration file: greatly 21simplifying application configuration code. A degree of future proofing 22can also be achieved: an application can support configuration features 23in newer versions of OpenSSL automatically. 24 25A configuration file must have been previously loaded, for example using 26CONF_modules_load_file(). See L<config(5)> for details of the configuration 27file syntax. 28 29=head1 RETURN VALUES 30 31SSL_CTX_config() and SSL_config() return 1 for success or 0 if an error 32occurred. 33 34=head1 EXAMPLES 35 36If the file "config.cnf" contains the following: 37 38 testapp = test_sect 39 40 [test_sect] 41 # list of configuration modules 42 43 ssl_conf = ssl_sect 44 45 [ssl_sect] 46 server = server_section 47 48 [server_section] 49 RSA.Certificate = server-rsa.pem 50 ECDSA.Certificate = server-ecdsa.pem 51 Ciphers = ALL:!RC4 52 53An application could call: 54 55 if (CONF_modules_load_file("config.cnf", "testapp", 0) <= 0) { 56 fprintf(stderr, "Error processing config file\n"); 57 goto err; 58 } 59 60 ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_server_method()); 61 62 if (SSL_CTX_config(ctx, "server") == 0) { 63 fprintf(stderr, "Error configuring server.\n"); 64 goto err; 65 } 66 67In this example two certificates and the cipher list are configured without 68the need for any additional application code. 69 70=head1 SEE ALSO 71 72L<ssl(7)>, 73L<config(5)>, 74L<SSL_CONF_cmd(3)>, 75L<CONF_modules_load_file(3)> 76 77=head1 HISTORY 78 79The SSL_CTX_config() and SSL_config() functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0. 80 81=head1 COPYRIGHT 82 83Copyright 2015-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
