The methods exist in a generic type (for client and server use), a server only type, and a client only type. \fBmethod\fR can be of the following types: .IP "\fBSSLv23_method()\fR, \fBSSLv23_server_method()\fR, \fBSSLv23_client_method()\fR" 4 .IX Item "SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_server_method(), SSLv23_client_method()" These are the general-purpose \fIversion-flexible\fR \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 methods. The actual protocol version used will be negotiated to the highest version mutually supported by the client and the server. The supported protocols are SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2. Most applications should use these method, and avoid the version specific methods described below. .Sp The list of protocols available can be further limited using the \&\fBSSL_OP_NO_SSLv2\fR, \fBSSL_OP_NO_SSLv3\fR, \fBSSL_OP_NO_TLSv1\fR, \&\fBSSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1\fR and \fBSSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2\fR options of the \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_options\fR\|(3) or \fBSSL_set_options\fR\|(3) functions. Clients should avoid creating \*(L"holes\*(R" in the set of protocols they support, when disabling a protocol, make sure that you also disable either all previous or all subsequent protocol versions. In clients, when a protocol version is disabled without disabling \fIall\fR previous protocol versions, the effect is to also disable all subsequent protocol versions. .Sp The SSLv2 and SSLv3 protocols are deprecated and should generally not be used. Applications should typically use \fBSSL_CTX_set_options\fR\|(3) in combination with the \fBSSL_OP_NO_SSLv3\fR flag to disable negotiation of SSLv3 via the above \&\fIversion-flexible\fR \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 methods. The \fBSSL_OP_NO_SSLv2\fR option is set by default, and would need to be cleared via \fBSSL_CTX_clear_options\fR\|(3) in order to enable negotiation of SSLv2. .IP "\fBTLSv1_2_method()\fR, \fBTLSv1_2_server_method()\fR, \fBTLSv1_2_client_method()\fR" 4 .IX Item "TLSv1_2_method(), TLSv1_2_server_method(), TLSv1_2_client_method()" A \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 connection established with these methods will only understand the TLSv1.2 protocol.
