36=head1 DESCRIPTION
37
38BIO_f_ssl() returns the SSL BIO method. This is a filter BIO which
39is a wrapper round the OpenSSL SSL routines adding a BIO "flavour" to
40SSL I/O.
41
42I/O performed on an SSL BIO communicates using the SSL protocol with
43the SSLs read and write BIOs. If an SSL connection is not established
44then an attempt is made to establish one on the first I/O call.
45
46If a BIO is appended to an SSL BIO using BIO_push() it is automatically
47used as the SSL BIOs read and write BIOs.
48
49Calling BIO_reset() on an SSL BIO closes down any current SSL connection
50by calling SSL_shutdown(). BIO_reset() is then sent to the next BIO in
51the chain: this will typically disconnect the underlying transport.
52The SSL BIO is then reset to the initial accept or connect state.
53
54If the close flag is set when an SSL BIO is freed then the internal
55SSL structure is also freed using SSL_free().
56
57BIO_set_ssl() sets the internal SSL pointer of SSL BIO B<b> to B<ssl> using
58the close flag B<c>.
59
60BIO_get_ssl() retrieves the SSL pointer of SSL BIO B<b>, it can then be
61manipulated using the standard SSL library functions.
62
63BIO_set_ssl_mode() sets the SSL BIO mode to B<client>. If B<client>
64is 1 client mode is set. If B<client> is 0 server mode is set.
65
66BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes() sets the renegotiate byte count of SSL BIO B<b>
67to B<num>. When set after every B<num> bytes of I/O (read and write)
68the SSL session is automatically renegotiated. B<num> must be at
69least 512 bytes.
70
71BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() sets the renegotiate timeout of SSL BIO B<b>
72to B<seconds>.
73When the renegotiate timeout elapses the session is automatically renegotiated.
74
75BIO_get_num_renegotiates() returns the total number of session
76renegotiations due to I/O or timeout of SSL BIO B<b>.
77
78BIO_new_ssl() allocates an SSL BIO using SSL_CTX B<ctx> and using
79client mode if B<client> is non zero.
80
81BIO_new_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting of an
82SSL BIO (using B<ctx>) followed by a connect BIO.
83
84BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting
85of a buffering BIO, an SSL BIO (using B<ctx>), and a connect BIO.
86
87BIO_ssl_copy_session_id() copies an SSL session id between
88BIO chains B<from> and B<to>. It does this by locating the
89SSL BIOs in each chain and calling SSL_copy_session_id() on
90the internal SSL pointer.
91
92BIO_ssl_shutdown() closes down an SSL connection on BIO
93chain B<bio>. It does this by locating the SSL BIO in the
94chain and calling SSL_shutdown() on its internal SSL
95pointer.
96
97BIO_do_handshake() attempts to complete an SSL handshake on the
98supplied BIO and establish the SSL connection. It returns 1
99if the connection was established successfully. A zero or negative
100value is returned if the connection could not be established, the
101call BIO_should_retry() should be used for non blocking connect BIOs
102to determine if the call should be retried. If an SSL connection has
103already been established this call has no effect.
104
105=head1 NOTES
106
107SSL BIOs are exceptional in that if the underlying transport
108is non blocking they can still request a retry in exceptional
109circumstances. Specifically this will happen if a session
110renegotiation takes place during a BIO_read_ex() operation, one
111case where this happens is when step up occurs.
112
113The SSL flag SSL_AUTO_RETRY can be
114set to disable this behaviour. That is when this flag is set
115an SSL BIO using a blocking transport will never request a
116retry.
117
118Since unknown BIO_ctrl() operations are sent through filter
119BIOs the servers name and port can be set using BIO_set_host()
120on the BIO returned by BIO_new_ssl_connect() without having
121to locate the connect BIO first.
122
123Applications do not have to call BIO_do_handshake() but may wish
124to do so to separate the handshake process from other I/O
125processing.
126
127BIO_set_ssl(), BIO_get_ssl(), BIO_set_ssl_mode(),
128BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes(), BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout(),
129BIO_get_num_renegotiates(), and BIO_do_handshake() are implemented as macros.
130
131=head1 RETURN VALUES
132
133BIO_f_ssl() returns the SSL B<BIO_METHOD> structure.
134
135BIO_set_ssl(), BIO_get_ssl(), BIO_set_ssl_mode(), BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes(),
136BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() and BIO_get_num_renegotiates() return 1 on
137success or a value which is less than or equal to 0 if an error occurred.
138
139BIO_new_ssl(), BIO_new_ssl_connect() and BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect() return
140a valid B<BIO> structure on success or B<NULL> if an error occurred.
141
142BIO_ssl_copy_session_id() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
143
144BIO_do_handshake() returns 1 if the connection was established successfully.
145A zero or negative value is returned if the connection could not be established.

148
149This SSL/TLS client example attempts to retrieve a page from an

151unencrypted example in L<BIO_s_connect(3)>.

284=head1 HISTORY
285
286In OpenSSL before 1.0.0 the BIO_pop() call was handled incorrectly,
287the I/O BIO reference count was incorrectly incremented (instead of
288decremented) and dissociated with the SSL BIO even if the SSL BIO was not
289explicitly being popped (e.g. a pop higher up the chain). Applications which
290included workarounds for this bug (e.g. freeing BIOs more than once) should
291be modified to handle this fix or they may free up an already freed BIO.
