  162. .SH "NOTES"
  163. .IX Header "NOTES"
  164. The ssl session contains all information required to re-establish the
  165. connection without a full handshake for \s-1SSL\s0 versions up to and including
  166. TLSv1.2. In TLSv1.3 the same is true, but sessions are established after the
  167. main handshake has occurred. The server will send the session information to the
  168. client at a time of its choosing, which may be some while after the initial
  169. connection is established (or never). Calling these functions on the client side
  170. in TLSv1.3 before the session has been established will still return an
  171. \&\s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object but that object cannot be used for resuming the session. See
  172. \&\fBSSL_SESSION_is_resumable\fR\|(3) for information on how to determine whether an
  173. \&\s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object can be used for resumption or not.
  174. .PP
  175. Additionally, in TLSv1.3, a server can send multiple messages that establish a
  176. session for a single connection. In that case, on the client side, the above
  177. functions will only return information on the last session that was received. On
  178. the server side they will only return information on the last session that was
  179. sent, or if no session tickets were sent then the session for the current
  180. connection.
  181. .PP
  182. The preferred way for applications to obtain a resumable \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object is
  183. to use a new session callback as described in \fBSSL_CTX_sess_set_new_cb\fR\|(3).
  184. The new session callback is only invoked when a session is actually established,
  185. so this avoids the problem described above where an application obtains an
  186. \&\s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object that cannot be used for resumption in TLSv1.3. It also
  187. enables applications to obtain information about all sessions sent by the
  188. server.
  189. .PP
  190. A session will be automatically removed from the session cache and marked as
  191. non-resumable if the connection is not closed down cleanly, e.g. if a fatal
  192. error occurs on the connection or \fBSSL_shutdown\fR\|(3) is not called prior to
  193. \&\fBSSL_free\fR\|(3).
  194. .PP
  195. In TLSv1.3 it is recommended that each \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object is only used for
  196. resumption once.
  197. .PP
  198. \&\fBSSL_get0_session()\fR returns a pointer to the actual session. As the
  199. reference counter is not incremented, the pointer is only valid while
  200. the connection is in use. If \fBSSL_clear\fR\|(3) or
  201. \&\fBSSL_free\fR\|(3) is called, the session may be removed completely
  202. (if considered bad), and the pointer obtained will become invalid. Even
  203. if the session is valid, it can be removed at any time due to timeout
  204. during \fBSSL_CTX_flush_sessions\fR\|(3).
  205. .PP
  206. If the data is to be kept, \fBSSL_get1_session()\fR will increment the reference
  207. count, so that the session will not be implicitly removed by other operations
  208. but stays in memory. In order to remove the session
  209. \&\fBSSL_SESSION_free\fR\|(3) must be explicitly called once
  210. to decrement the reference count again.
  211. .PP
  212. \&\s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 objects keep internal link information about the session cache
  213. list, when being inserted into one \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 object's session cache.
  214. One \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object, regardless of its reference count, must therefore
  215. only be used with one \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 object (and the \s-1SSL\s0 objects created
  216. from this \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 object).
  217. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  218. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  219. The following return values can occur:
  220. .IP "\s-1NULL\s0" 4

  222. There is no session available in \fBssl\fR.
  223. .IP "Pointer to an \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0" 4
