.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode()\fR enables/disables session caching
by setting the operational mode for \fBctx\fR to <mode>.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_get_session_cache_mode()\fR returns the currently used cache mode.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The OpenSSL library can store/retrieve \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 sessions for later reuse.
The sessions can be held in memory for each \fBctx\fR, if more than one
\&\s-1SSL_CTX\s0 object is being maintained, the sessions are unique for each \s-1SSL_CTX\s0
object.
.PP
In order to reuse a session, a client must send the session's id to the
server. It can only send exactly one id. The server then either
agrees to reuse the session or it starts a full handshake (to create a new
session).
.PP
A server will look up the session in its internal session storage. If the
session is not found in internal storage or lookups for the internal storage
have been deactivated (\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP\s0), the server will try
the external storage if available.
.PP
Since a client may try to reuse a session intended for use in a different
context, the session id context must be set by the server (see
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_session_id_context\fR\|(3)).
.PP
The following session cache modes and modifiers are available:
.IP "\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_OFF\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_SESS_CACHE_OFF"
No session caching for client or server takes place.
.IP "\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_CLIENT\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_SESS_CACHE_CLIENT"
Client sessions are added to the session cache. As there is no reliable way
for the OpenSSL library to know whether a session should be reused or which
session to choose (due to the abstract \s-1BIO\s0 layer the \s-1SSL\s0 engine does not
have details about the connection), the application must select the session
to be reused by using the \fBSSL_set_session\fR\|(3)
function. This option is not activated by default.
.IP "\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_SERVER\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_SESS_CACHE_SERVER"
Server sessions are added to the session cache. When a client proposes a
session to be reused, the server looks for the corresponding session in (first)
the internal session cache (unless \s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP\s0 is set),
then (second) in the external cache if available. If the session is found, the
server will try to reuse the session. This is the default.
.IP "\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_BOTH\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_SESS_CACHE_BOTH"
Enable both \s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_CLIENT\s0 and \s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_SERVER\s0 at the same time.
.IP "\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_AUTO_CLEAR\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_AUTO_CLEAR"
Normally the session cache is checked for expired sessions every
255 connections using the
\&\fBSSL_CTX_flush_sessions\fR\|(3) function. Since
this may lead to a delay which cannot be controlled, the automatic
flushing may be disabled and
\&\fBSSL_CTX_flush_sessions\fR\|(3) can be called
explicitly by the application.
.IP "\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP"
By setting this flag, session-resume operations in an \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 server will not
automatically look up sessions in the internal cache, even if sessions are
automatically stored there. If external session caching callbacks are in use,
this flag guarantees that all lookups are directed to the external cache.
As automatic lookup only applies for \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 servers, the flag has no effect on
clients.
.IP "\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE"
Depending on the presence of \s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_CLIENT\s0 and/or \s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_SERVER,\s0
sessions negotiated in an \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 handshake may be cached for possible reuse.
Normally a new session is added to the internal cache as well as any external
session caching (callback) that is configured for the \s-1SSL_CTX.\s0 This flag will
prevent sessions being stored in the internal cache (though the application can
add them manually using \fBSSL_CTX_add_session\fR\|(3)). Note:
in any \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 servers where external caching is configured, any successful
session lookups in the external cache (ie. for session-resume requests) would
normally be copied into the local cache before processing continues \- this flag
prevents these additions to the internal cache as well.
.IP "\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL"
Enable both \s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP\s0 and
\&\s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE\s0 at the same time.
.PP
The default mode is \s-1SSL_SESS_CACHE_SERVER.\s0
