<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

SSL_CTX_new() creates a new SSL_CTX object as framework to establish TLS/SSL or DTLS enabled connections. An SSL_CTX object is reference counted. Creating an SSL_CTX object for the first time increments the reference count. Freeing it (using SSL_CTX_free) decrements it. When the reference count drops to zero, any memory or resources allocated to the SSL_CTX object are freed. SSL_CTX_up_ref() increments the reference count for an existing SSL_CTX structure.

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

The SSL_CTX object uses method as connection method. The methods exist in a generic type (for client and server use), a server only type, and a client only type. method can be of the following types:

<dl>

<dt id="TLS_method-TLS_server_method-TLS_client_method">TLS_method(), TLS_server_method(), TLS_client_method()</dt>
<dd>

These are the general-purpose version-flexible SSL/TLS 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 SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3. Applications should use these methods, and avoid the version-specific methods described below, which are deprecated.

</dd>
<dt id="SSLv23_method-SSLv23_server_method-SSLv23_client_method">SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_server_method(), SSLv23_client_method()</dt>
<dd>

These functions do not exist anymore, they have been renamed to TLS_method(), TLS_server_method() and TLS_client_method() respectively. Currently, the old function calls are renamed to the corresponding new ones by preprocessor macros, to ensure that existing code which uses the old function names still compiles. However, using the old function names is deprecated and new code should call the new functions instead.

</dd>
<dt id="TLSv1_2_method-TLSv1_2_server_method-TLSv1_2_client_method">TLSv1_2_method(), TLSv1_2_server_method(), TLSv1_2_client_method()</dt>
<dd>

A TLS/SSL connection established with these methods will only understand the TLSv1.2 protocol. These methods are deprecated.

</dd>
<dt id="TLSv1_1_method-TLSv1_1_server_method-TLSv1_1_client_method">TLSv1_1_method(), TLSv1_1_server_method(), TLSv1_1_client_method()</dt>
<dd>

A TLS/SSL connection established with these methods will only understand the TLSv1.1 protocol. These methods are deprecated.

</dd>
<dt id="TLSv1_method-TLSv1_server_method-TLSv1_client_method">TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_server_method(), TLSv1_client_method()</dt>
<dd>

A TLS/SSL connection established with these methods will only understand the TLSv1 protocol. These methods are deprecated.

</dd>
<dt id="SSLv3_method-SSLv3_server_method-SSLv3_client_method">SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_server_method(), SSLv3_client_method()</dt>
<dd>

A TLS/SSL connection established with these methods will only understand the SSLv3 protocol. The SSLv3 protocol is deprecated and should not be used.

</dd>
<dt id="DTLS_method-DTLS_server_method-DTLS_client_method">DTLS_method(), DTLS_server_method(), DTLS_client_method()</dt>
<dd>

These are the version-flexible DTLS methods. Currently supported protocols are DTLS 1.0 and DTLS 1.2.

</dd>
<dt id="DTLSv1_2_method-DTLSv1_2_server_method-DTLSv1_2_client_method">DTLSv1_2_method(), DTLSv1_2_server_method(), DTLSv1_2_client_method()</dt>
<dd>

These are the version-specific methods for DTLSv1.2. These methods are deprecated.

</dd>
<dt id="DTLSv1_method-DTLSv1_server_method-DTLSv1_client_method">DTLSv1_method(), DTLSv1_server_method(), DTLSv1_client_method()</dt>
<dd>

These are the version-specific methods for DTLSv1. These methods are deprecated.

</dd>
</dl>

SSL_CTX_new() initializes the list of ciphers, the session cache setting, the callbacks, the keys and certificates and the options to their default values.

TLS_method(), TLS_server_method(), TLS_client_method(), DTLS_method(), DTLS_server_method() and DTLS_client_method() are the version-flexible methods. All other methods only support one specific protocol version. Use the version-flexible methods instead of the version specific methods.

If you want to limit the supported protocols for the version flexible methods you can use <a href="../man3/SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version.html">SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/SSL_set_min_proto_version.html">SSL_set_min_proto_version(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/SSL_CTX_set_max_proto_version.html">SSL_CTX_set_max_proto_version(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/SSL_set_max_proto_version.html">SSL_set_max_proto_version(3)</a> functions. Using these functions it is possible to choose e.g. TLS_server_method() and be able to negotiate with all possible clients, but to only allow newer protocols like TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3.

The list of protocols available can also be limited using the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_3, SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2 and SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_3 options of the <a href="../man3/SSL_CTX_set_options.html">SSL_CTX_set_options(3)</a> or <a href="../man3/SSL_set_options.html">SSL_set_options(3)</a> functions, but this approach is not recommended. Clients should avoid creating &quot;holes&quot; 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 all previous protocol versions, the effect is to also disable all subsequent protocol versions.

The SSLv3 protocol is deprecated and should generally not be used. Applications should typically use <a href="../man3/SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version.html">SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version(3)</a> to set the minimum protocol to at least TLS1_VERSION.

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

The following return values can occur:

<dl>

The creation of a new SSL_CTX object failed. Check the error stack to find out the reason.

</dd>
<dt id="Pointer-to-an-SSL_CTX-object">Pointer to an SSL_CTX object</dt>
<dd>

The return value points to an allocated SSL_CTX object.

SSL_CTX_up_ref() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.

</dd>
</dl>

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

Support for SSLv2 and the corresponding SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_server_method() and SSLv2_client_method() functions where removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_server_method() and SSLv23_client_method() were deprecated and the preferred TLS_method(), TLS_server_method() and TLS_client_method() functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

All version-specific methods were deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
