  73. .SH DESCRIPTION
  74. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  75. The functions \fBSSL_CTX_config()\fR and \fBSSL_config()\fR configure an \fBSSL_CTX\fR or
  76. \&\fBSSL\fR structure using the configuration \fBname\fR.
  77. .PP
  78. By calling \fBSSL_CTX_config()\fR or \fBSSL_config()\fR an application can perform many
  79. complex tasks based on the contents of the configuration file: greatly
  80. simplifying application configuration code. A degree of future proofing
  81. can also be achieved: an application can support configuration features
  82. in newer versions of OpenSSL automatically.
  83. .PP
  84. A configuration file must have been previously loaded, for example using
  85. \&\fBCONF_modules_load_file()\fR. See \fBconfig\fR\|(5) for details of the configuration
  86. file syntax.
  87. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  88. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  89. \&\fBSSL_CTX_config()\fR and \fBSSL_config()\fR return 1 for success or 0 if an error
  90. occurred.
  91. .SH EXAMPLES
  92. .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
  93. If the file "config.cnf" contains the following:
  94. .PP
  95. .Vb 1
  96. \& testapp = test_sect
  97. \&
  98. \& [test_sect]
  99. \& # list of configuration modules
  100. \&
  101. \& ssl_conf = ssl_sect
  102. \&
  103. \& [ssl_sect]
  104. \& server = server_section
  105. \&
  106. \& [server_section]
  107. \& RSA.Certificate = server\-rsa.pem
  108. \& ECDSA.Certificate = server\-ecdsa.pem
  109. \& Ciphers = ALL:!RC4
  110. .Ve
  111. .PP
  112. An application could call:
  113. .PP
  114. .Vb 4
  115. \& if (CONF_modules_load_file("config.cnf", "testapp", 0) <= 0) {
  116. \& fprintf(stderr, "Error processing config file\en");
  117. \& goto err;
  118. \& }
  119. \&
  120. \& ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_server_method());
  121. \&
  122. \& if (SSL_CTX_config(ctx, "server") == 0) {
  123. \& fprintf(stderr, "Error configuring server.\en");
  124. \& goto err;
  125. \& }
  126. .Ve
  127. .PP
  128. In this example two certificates and the cipher list are configured without
  129. the need for any additional application code.
