.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBSSL_CTX_sess_set_new_cb()\fR sets the callback function that is
called whenever a new session was negotiated.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb()\fR sets the callback function that is
called whenever a session is removed by the \s-1SSL\s0 engine.  For example,
this can occur because a session is considered faulty or has become obsolete
because of exceeding the timeout value.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb()\fR sets the callback function that is called
whenever a \s-1TLS\s0 client proposed to resume a session but the session
could not be found in the internal session cache (see
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode\fR\|(3)).
(\s-1TLS\s0 server only.)
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_sess_get_new_cb()\fR, \fBSSL_CTX_sess_get_remove_cb()\fR, and
\&\fBSSL_CTX_sess_get_get_cb()\fR retrieve the function pointers set by the
corresponding set callback functions. If a callback function has not been
set, the \s-1NULL\s0 pointer is returned.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
In order to allow external session caching, synchronization with the internal
session cache is realized via callback functions. Inside these callback
functions, session can be saved to disk or put into a database using the
\&\fBd2i_SSL_SESSION\fR\|(3) interface.
.PP
The \fBnew_session_cb()\fR is called whenever a new session has been negotiated and
session caching is enabled (see \fBSSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode\fR\|(3)).  The
\&\fBnew_session_cb()\fR is passed the \fBssl\fR connection and the nascent
ssl session \fBsess\fR.
Since sessions are reference-counted objects, the reference count on the
session is incremented before the callback, on behalf of the application.  If
the callback returns \fB0\fR, the session will be immediately removed from the
internal cache and the reference count released. If the callback returns \fB1\fR,
the application retains the reference (for an entry in the
application-maintained \*(L"external session cache\*(R"), and is responsible for
calling \fBSSL_SESSION_free()\fR when the session reference is no longer in use.
.PP
Note that in TLSv1.3, sessions are established after the main
handshake has completed. The server decides when to send the client the session
information and this may occur some time after the end of the handshake (or not
at all). This means that applications should expect the \fBnew_session_cb()\fR
function to be invoked during the handshake (for <= TLSv1.2) or after the
handshake (for TLSv1.3). It is also possible in TLSv1.3 for multiple sessions to
be established with a single connection. In these case the \fBnew_session_cb()\fR
function will be invoked multiple times.
.PP
In TLSv1.3 it is recommended that each \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object is only used for
resumption once. One way of enforcing that is for applications to call
\&\fBSSL_CTX_remove_session\fR\|(3) after a session has been used.
.PP
The \fBremove_session_cb()\fR is called whenever the \s-1SSL\s0 engine removes a session
from the internal cache. This can happen when the session is removed because
it is expired or when a connection was not shutdown cleanly. It also happens
for all sessions in the internal session cache when
\&\fBSSL_CTX_free\fR\|(3) is called. The \fBremove_session_cb()\fR is passed
the \fBctx\fR and the ssl session \fBsess\fR. It does not provide any feedback.
.PP
The \fBget_session_cb()\fR is only called on \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 servers, and is given
the session id
proposed by the client. The \fBget_session_cb()\fR is always called, even when
session caching was disabled. The \fBget_session_cb()\fR is passed the
\&\fBssl\fR connection and the session id of length \fBlength\fR at the memory location
\&\fBdata\fR. By setting the parameter \fBcopy\fR to \fB1\fR, the callback can require the
\&\s-1SSL\s0 engine to increment the reference count of the \s-1SSL_SESSION\s0 object;
setting \fBcopy\fR to \fB0\fR causes the reference count to remain unchanged.
If the \fBget_session_cb()\fR does not write to \fBcopy\fR, the reference count
is incremented and the session must be explicitly freed with
\&\fBSSL_SESSION_free\fR\|(3).
