70=head1 DESCRIPTION
71
72SSL_CTX_add_custom_ext() adds a custom extension for a TLS/DTLS client or server
73for all supported protocol versions with extension type B<ext_type> and
74callbacks B<add_cb>, B<free_cb> and B<parse_cb> (see the
75L</EXTENSION CALLBACKS> section below). The B<context> value determines
76which messages and under what conditions the extension will be added/parsed (see
77the L</EXTENSION CONTEXTS> section below).
78
79SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext() adds a custom extension for a TLS/DTLS client
80with extension type B<ext_type> and callbacks B<add_cb>, B<free_cb> and
81B<parse_cb>. This function is similar to SSL_CTX_add_custom_ext() except it only
82applies to clients, uses the older style of callbacks, and implicitly sets the
83B<context> value to:
84
85 SSL_EXT_TLS1_2_AND_BELOW_ONLY | SSL_EXT_CLIENT_HELLO
86 | SSL_EXT_TLS1_2_SERVER_HELLO | SSL_EXT_IGNORE_ON_RESUMPTION
87
88SSL_CTX_add_server_custom_ext() adds a custom extension for a TLS/DTLS server
89with extension type B<ext_type> and callbacks B<add_cb>, B<free_cb> and
90B<parse_cb>. This function is similar to SSL_CTX_add_custom_ext() except it
91only applies to servers, uses the older style of callbacks, and implicitly sets
92the B<context> value to the same as for SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext() above.
93
94The B<ext_type> parameter corresponds to the B<extension_type> field of
95RFC5246 et al. It is B<not> a NID. In all cases the extension type must not be
96handled by OpenSSL internally or an error occurs.
97
98SSL_extension_supported() returns 1 if the extension B<ext_type> is handled
99internally by OpenSSL and 0 otherwise.
100
101=head1 EXTENSION CALLBACKS
102
103The callback B<add_cb> is called to send custom extension data to be
104included in various TLS messages. The B<ext_type> parameter is set to the
105extension type which will be added and B<add_arg> to the value set when the
106extension handler was added. When using the new style callbacks the B<context>
107parameter will indicate which message is currently being constructed e.g. for
108the ClientHello it will be set to B<SSL_EXT_CLIENT_HELLO>.
109
110If the application wishes to include the extension B<ext_type> it should
111set B<*out> to the extension data, set B<*outlen> to the length of the
112extension data and return 1.
113
114If the B<add_cb> does not wish to include the extension it must return 0.
115
116If B<add_cb> returns -1 a fatal handshake error occurs using the TLS
117alert value specified in B<*al>.
118
119When constructing the ClientHello, if B<add_cb> is set to NULL a zero length
120extension is added for B<ext_type>. For all other messages if B<add_cb> is set
121to NULL then no extension is added.
122
123When constructing a Certificate message the callback will be called for each
124certificate in the message. The B<x> parameter will indicate the
125current certificate and the B<chainidx> parameter will indicate the position
126of the certificate in the message. The first certificate is always the end
127entity certificate and has a B<chainidx> value of 0. The certificates are in the
128order that they were received in the Certificate message.
129
130For all messages except the ServerHello and EncryptedExtensions every
131registered B<add_cb> is always called to see if the application wishes to add an
132extension (as long as all requirements of the specified B<context> are met).
133
134For the ServerHello and EncryptedExtension messages every registered B<add_cb>
135is called once if and only if the requirements of the specified B<context> are
136met and the corresponding extension was received in the ClientHello. That is, if
137no corresponding extension was received in the ClientHello then B<add_cb> will
138not be called.
139
140If an extension is added (that is B<add_cb> returns 1) B<free_cb> is called
141(if it is set) with the value of B<out> set by the add callback. It can be
142used to free up any dynamic extension data set by B<add_cb>. Since B<out> is
143constant (to permit use of constant data in B<add_cb>) applications may need to
144cast away const to free the data.
145
146The callback B<parse_cb> receives data for TLS extensions. The callback is only
147called if the extension is present and relevant for the context (see
148L</EXTENSION CONTEXTS> below).
149
150The extension data consists of B<inlen> bytes in the buffer B<in> for the
151extension B<ext_type>.
152
153If the message being parsed is a TLSv1.3 compatible Certificate message then
154B<parse_cb> will be called for each certificate contained within the message.
155The B<x> parameter will indicate the current certificate and the B<chainidx>
156parameter will indicate the position of the certificate in the message. The
157first certificate is always the end entity certificate and has a B<chainidx>
158value of 0.
159
160If the B<parse_cb> considers the extension data acceptable it must return
1611. If it returns 0 or a negative value a fatal handshake error occurs
162using the TLS alert value specified in B<*al>.
163
164The buffer B<in> is a temporary internal buffer which will not be valid after
165the callback returns.
166
167=head1 EXTENSION CONTEXTS
168
169An extension context defines which messages and under which conditions an
170extension should be added or expected. The context is built up by performing
171a bitwise OR of multiple pre-defined values together. The valid context values
172are:
173
174=over 4
175
176=item SSL_EXT_TLS_ONLY
177
178The extension is only allowed in TLS
179
180=item SSL_EXT_DTLS_ONLY
181
182The extension is only allowed in DTLS
183
184=item SSL_EXT_TLS_IMPLEMENTATION_ONLY
185
186The extension is allowed in DTLS, but there is only a TLS implementation
187available (so it is ignored in DTLS).
188
189=item SSL_EXT_SSL3_ALLOWED
190
191Extensions are not typically defined for SSLv3. Setting this value will allow
192the extension in SSLv3. Applications will not typically need to use this.
193
194=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_2_AND_BELOW_ONLY
195
196The extension is only defined for TLSv1.2/DTLSv1.2 and below. Servers will
197ignore this extension if it is present in the ClientHello and TLSv1.3 is
198negotiated.
199
200=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_ONLY
201
202The extension is only defined for TLS1.3 and above. Servers will ignore this
203extension if it is present in the ClientHello and TLSv1.2 or below is
204negotiated.
205
206=item SSL_EXT_IGNORE_ON_RESUMPTION
207
208The extension will be ignored during parsing if a previous session is being
209successfully resumed.
210
211=item SSL_EXT_CLIENT_HELLO
212
213The extension may be present in the ClientHello message.
214
215=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_2_SERVER_HELLO
216
217The extension may be present in a TLSv1.2 or below compatible ServerHello
218message.
219
220=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_SERVER_HELLO
221
222The extension may be present in a TLSv1.3 compatible ServerHello message.
223
224=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_ENCRYPTED_EXTENSIONS
225
226The extension may be present in an EncryptedExtensions message.
227
228=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_HELLO_RETRY_REQUEST
229
230The extension may be present in a HelloRetryRequest message.
231
232=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_CERTIFICATE
233
234The extension may be present in a TLSv1.3 compatible Certificate message.
235
236=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_NEW_SESSION_TICKET
237
238The extension may be present in a TLSv1.3 compatible NewSessionTicket message.
239
240=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_CERTIFICATE_REQUEST
241
242The extension may be present in a TLSv1.3 compatible CertificateRequest message.
243
244=back
245
246The context must include at least one message value (otherwise the extension
247will never be used).
248
249=head1 NOTES
250
251The B<add_arg> and B<parse_arg> parameters can be set to arbitrary values
252which will be passed to the corresponding callbacks. They can, for example,
253be used to store the extension data received in a convenient structure or
254pass the extension data to be added or freed when adding extensions.
255
256If the same custom extension type is received multiple times a fatal
257B<decode_error> alert is sent and the handshake aborts. If a custom extension
258is received in a ServerHello/EncryptedExtensions message which was not sent in
259the ClientHello a fatal B<unsupported_extension> alert is sent and the
260handshake is aborted. The ServerHello/EncryptedExtensions B<add_cb> callback is
261only called if the corresponding extension was received in the ClientHello. This
262is compliant with the TLS specifications. This behaviour ensures that each
263callback is called at most once and that an application can never send
264unsolicited extensions.
265
266=head1 RETURN VALUES
267
268SSL_CTX_add_custom_ext(), SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext() and
269SSL_CTX_add_server_custom_ext() return 1 for success and 0 for failure. A
270failure can occur if an attempt is made to add the same B<ext_type> more than
271once, if an attempt is made to use an extension type handled internally by
272OpenSSL or if an internal error occurs (for example a memory allocation
273failure).
274
275SSL_extension_supported() returns 1 if the extension B<ext_type> is handled
276internally by OpenSSL and 0 otherwise.
