"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" The function
SSL_CONF_cmd() performs configuration operation
option with
optional parameter
value on
ctx. Its purpose is to simplify application
configuration of
\s-1SSL_CTX\s0 or
\s-1SSL\s0 structures by providing a common
framework for command line options or configuration files.
\fBSSL_CONF_cmd_value_type() returns the type of value that option refers to.
"SUPPORTED COMMAND LINE COMMANDS"
Header "SUPPORTED COMMAND LINE COMMANDS" Currently supported
option names for command lines (i.e. when the
flag
\s-1SSL_CONF_FLAG_CMDLINE\s0 is set) are listed below. Note: all
option
names are case sensitive. Unless otherwise stated commands can be used by
both clients and servers and the

clients only. Equivalent to setting or clearing
\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0.
"-prioritize_chacha" 4
Item "-prioritize_chacha" Prioritize ChaCha ciphers when the client has a ChaCha20 cipher at the top of
its preference list. This usually indicates a client without \s-1AES\s0 hardware
acceleration (e.g. mobile) is in use. Equivalent to
\s-1SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA\s0.
Only used by servers. Requires
-serverpref.
"-allow_no_dhe_kex" 4

that there will be no forward secrecy for the resumed session.
"-strict" 4
Item "-strict" Enables strict mode protocol handling. Equivalent to setting
\fB\s-1SSL_CERT_FLAG_TLS_STRICT\s0.
"-sigalgs algs" 4
Item "-sigalgs algs" This sets the supported signature algorithms for TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3.
For clients this value is used directly for the supported signature
algorithms extension. For servers it is used to determine which signature
algorithms to support.
.Sp
The
algs argument should be a colon separated list of signature
algorithms in order of decreasing preference of the form
algorithm+hash
or
signature_scheme.
algorithm is one of
\s-1RSA\s0,
\s-1DSA\s0 or
\s-1ECDSA\s0 and
\fBhash is a supported algorithm \s-1OID\s0 short name such as
\s-1SHA1\s0,
\s-1SHA224\s0,
\fB\s-1SHA256\s0,
\s-1SHA384\s0 of
\s-1SHA512\s0. Note: algorithm and hash names are case
sensitive.
signature_scheme is one of the signature schemes defined in
TLSv1.3, specified using the \s-1IETF\s0 name, e.g.,
ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256,
\fBed25519, or
rsa_pss_pss_sha256.
.Sp
If this option is not set then all signature algorithms supported by the
OpenSSL library are permissible.
.Sp
Note: algorithms which specify a PKCS#1 v1.5 signature scheme (either by
using
\s-1RSA\s0 as the
algorithm or by using one of the
rsa_pkcs1_*
identifiers) are ignored in TLSv1.3 and will not be negotiated.
"-client_sigalgs algs" 4
Item "-client_sigalgs algs" This sets the supported signature algorithms associated with client
authentication for TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3. For servers the
algs is used
in the
signature_algorithms field of a
CertificateRequest message.
For clients it is used to determine which signature algorithm to use with
the client certificate. If a server does not request a certificate this
option has no effect.
.Sp
The syntax of
algs is identical to
-sigalgs. If not set, then the
value set for
-sigalgs will be used instead.
"-groups groups" 4
Item "-groups groups" This sets the supported groups. For clients, the groups are sent using
the supported groups extension. For servers, it is used to determine which
group to use. This setting affects groups used for signatures (in TLSv1.2
and earlier) and key exchange. The first group listed will also be used
for the
key_share sent by a client in a TLSv1.3
ClientHello.
.Sp
The
groups argument is a colon separated list of groups. The group can
be either the
\s-1NIST\s0 name (e.g.
P-256), some other commonly used name
where applicable (e.g.
X25519,
ffdhe2048) or an OpenSSL \s-1OID\s0 name
(e.g.
prime256v1). Group names are case sensitive. The list should be
in order of preference with the most preferred group first.
.Sp
Currently supported groups for
TLSv1.3 are
P-256,
P-384,
P-521,
\fBX25519,
X448,
ffdhe2048,
ffdhe3072,
ffdhe4096,
ffdhe6144,
\fBffdhe8192.
"-curves groups" 4
Item "-curves groups" This is a synonym for the
-groups command.
"-named_curve curve" 4
Item "-named_curve curve" This sets the temporary curve used for ephemeral \s-1ECDH\s0 modes. Only used
by servers.
.Sp
The
groups argument is a curve name or the special value
auto which
picks an appropriate curve based on client and server preferences. The
curve can be either the
\s-1NIST\s0 name (e.g.
P-256) or an OpenSSL \s-1OID\s0 name
(e.g.
prime256v1). Curve names are case sensitive.
"-cipher ciphers" 4
Item "-cipher ciphers" Sets the TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuite list to
ciphers. This list will be
combined with any configured TLSv1.3 ciphersuites. Note: syntax checking
of
ciphers is currently not performed unless a
\s-1SSL\s0 or
\s-1SSL_CTX\s0
structure is associated with
ctx.
"-ciphersuites 1.3ciphers" 4
Item "-ciphersuites 1.3ciphers" Sets the available ciphersuites for TLSv1.3 to value. This is a
colon-separated list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuite names in order of preference. This
list will be combined any configured TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites.
See
openssl-ciphers\|(1) for more information.
"-min_protocol minprot, -max_protocol maxprot" 4
Item "-min_protocol minprot, -max_protocol maxprot" Sets the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
Currently supported protocol values are
SSLv3,
TLSv1,
TLSv1.1,
\fBTLSv1.2,
TLSv1.3 for \s-1TLS\s0;
DTLSv1,
DTLSv1.2 for \s-1DTLS,\s0 and
None
for no limit.
If either the lower or upper bound is not specified then only the other bound
applies, if specified.
If your application supports both \s-1TLS\s0 and \s-1DTLS\s0 you can specify any of these
options twice, once with a bound for \s-1TLS\s0 and again with an appropriate bound
for \s-1DTLS.\s0
To restrict the supported protocol versions use these commands rather than the
deprecated alternative commands below.
"-record_padding padding" 4
Item "-record_padding padding" Attempts to pad TLSv1.3 records so that they are a multiple of
padding
in length on send. A
padding of 0 or 1 turns off padding. Otherwise,
the
padding must be >1 or <=16384.
"-debug_broken_protocol" 4
Item "-debug_broken_protocol" Ignored.
"-no_middlebox" 4
Item "-no_middlebox" Turn off \*(L"middlebox compatibility\*(R", as described below.
"Additional Options"
Subsection "Additional Options" The following options are accepted by
SSL_CONF_cmd(), but are not
processed by the OpenSSL commands.
"-cert file" 4
Item "-cert file" Attempts to use
file as the certificate for the appropriate context. It
currently uses
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() if an
\s-1SSL_CTX\s0
structure is set or
SSL_use_certificate_file() with filetype \s-1PEM\s0 if an
\fB\s-1SSL\s0 structure is set. This option is only supported if certificate
operations are permitted.
"-key file" 4
Item "-key file" Attempts to use
file as the private key for the appropriate context. This
option is only supported if certificate operations are permitted. Note:
if no
-key option is set then a private key is not loaded unless the
flag
\s-1SSL_CONF_FLAG_REQUIRE_PRIVATE\s0 is set.
"-dhparam file" 4
Item "-dhparam file" Attempts to use
file as the set of temporary \s-1DH\s0 parameters for
the appropriate context. This option is only supported if certificate
operations are permitted.
"-no_ssl3, -no_tls1, -no_tls1_1, -no_tls1_2, -no_tls1_3" 4
Item "-no_ssl3, -no_tls1, -no_tls1_1, -no_tls1_2, -no_tls1_3" Disables protocol support for SSLv3, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3 by
setting the corresponding options
SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3,
SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1,
\fBSSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1,
SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2 and
SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_3
respectively. These options are deprecated, use
-min_protocol and
\fB-max_protocol instead.
"-anti_replay, -no_anti_replay" 4
Item "-anti_replay, -no_anti_replay" Switches replay protection, on or off respectively. With replay protection on,
OpenSSL will automatically detect if a session ticket has been used more than
once, TLSv1.3 has been negotiated, and early data is enabled on the server. A
full handshake is forced if a session ticket is used a second or subsequent
time. Anti-Replay is on by default unless overridden by a configuration file and
is only used by servers. Anti-replay measures are required for compliance with
the TLSv1.3 specification. Some applications may be able to mitigate the replay
risks in other ways and in such cases the built-in OpenSSL functionality is not
required. Switching off anti-replay is equivalent to
\s-1SSL_OP_NO_ANTI_REPLAY\s0.
"SUPPORTED CONFIGURATION FILE COMMANDS"
Header "SUPPORTED CONFIGURATION FILE COMMANDS" Currently supported
option names for configuration files (i.e., when the
flag
\s-1SSL_CONF_FLAG_FILE\s0 is set) are listed below. All configuration file
\fBoption names are case insensitive so
signaturealgorithms is recognised
as well as
SignatureAlgorithms. Unless otherwise stated the
value names
are also case insensitive.
Note: the command prefix (if set) alters the recognised option values.
"CipherString" 4
Item "CipherString" Sets the ciphersuite list for TLSv1.2 and below to
value. This list will be
combined with any configured TLSv1.3 ciphersuites. Note: syntax
checking of
value is currently not performed unless an
\s-1SSL\s0 or
\s-1SSL_CTX\s0
structure is associated with
ctx.
"Ciphersuites" 4
Item "Ciphersuites" Sets the available ciphersuites for TLSv1.3 to
value. This is a
colon-separated list of TLSv1.3 ciphersuite names in order of preference. This
list will be combined any configured TLSv1.2 and below ciphersuites.
See
openssl-ciphers\|(1) for more information.
"Certificate" 4
Item "Certificate" Attempts to use the file
value as the certificate for the appropriate
context. It currently uses
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() if an
\s-1SSL_CTX\s0
structure is set or
SSL_use_certificate_file() with filetype \s-1PEM\s0 if an
\s-1SSL\s0
structure is set. This option is only supported if certificate operations
are permitted.
"PrivateKey" 4
Item "PrivateKey" Attempts to use the file
value as the private key for the appropriate
context. This option is only supported if certificate operations
are permitted. Note: if no
PrivateKey option is set then a private key is
not loaded unless the
\s-1SSL_CONF_FLAG_REQUIRE_PRIVATE\s0 is set.
"ChainCAFile, ChainCAPath, VerifyCAFile, VerifyCAPath" 4
Item "ChainCAFile, ChainCAPath, VerifyCAFile, VerifyCAPath" These options indicate a file or directory used for building certificate
chains or verifying certificate chains. These options are only supported
if certificate operations are permitted.
"RequestCAFile" 4
Item "RequestCAFile" This option indicates a file containing a set of certificates in \s-1PEM\s0 form.
The subject names of the certificates are sent to the peer in the
\fBcertificate_authorities extension for \s-1TLS 1.3\s0 (in ClientHello or
CertificateRequest) or in a certificate request for previous versions or
\s-1TLS.\s0
"ServerInfoFile" 4
Item "ServerInfoFile" Attempts to use the file
value in the \*(L"serverinfo\*(R" extension using the
function SSL_CTX_use_serverinfo_file.
"DHParameters" 4
Item "DHParameters" Attempts to use the file
value as the set of temporary \s-1DH\s0 parameters for
the appropriate context. This option is only supported if certificate
operations are permitted.
"RecordPadding" 4
Item "RecordPadding" Attempts to pad TLSv1.3 records so that they are a multiple of
value in
length on send. A
value of 0 or 1 turns off padding. Otherwise, the
\fBvalue must be >1 or <=16384.
"SignatureAlgorithms" 4
Item "SignatureAlgorithms" This sets the supported signature algorithms for TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3.
For clients this
value is used directly for the supported signature algorithms extension. For
servers it is used to determine which signature algorithms to support.
.Sp
The
value argument should be a colon separated list of signature algorithms
in order of decreasing preference of the form
algorithm+hash or
\fBsignature_scheme.
algorithm
is one of
\s-1RSA\s0,
\s-1DSA\s0 or
\s-1ECDSA\s0 and
hash is a supported algorithm
\s-1OID\s0 short name such as
\s-1SHA1\s0,
\s-1SHA224\s0,
\s-1SHA256\s0,
\s-1SHA384\s0 of
\s-1SHA512\s0.
Note: algorithm and hash names are case sensitive.
\fBsignature_scheme is one of the signature schemes defined in TLSv1.3,
specified using the \s-1IETF\s0 name, e.g.,
ecdsa_secp256r1_sha256,
ed25519,
or
rsa_pss_pss_sha256.
.Sp
If this option is not set then all signature algorithms supported by the
OpenSSL library are permissible.
.Sp
Note: algorithms which specify a PKCS#1 v1.5 signature scheme (either by
using
\s-1RSA\s0 as the
algorithm or by using one of the
rsa_pkcs1_*
identifiers) are ignored in TLSv1.3 and will not be negotiated.
"ClientSignatureAlgorithms" 4
Item "ClientSignatureAlgorithms" This sets the supported signature algorithms associated with client
authentication for TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3.
For servers the value is used in the
\fBsignature_algorithms field of a
CertificateRequest message.
For clients it is
used to determine which signature algorithm to use with the client certificate.
If a server does not request a certificate this option has no effect.
.Sp
The syntax of
value is identical to
SignatureAlgorithms. If not set then
the value set for
SignatureAlgorithms will be used instead.
"Groups" 4
Item "Groups" This sets the supported groups. For clients, the groups are
sent using the supported groups extension. For servers, it is used
to determine which group to use. This setting affects groups used for
signatures (in TLSv1.2 and earlier) and key exchange. The first group listed
will also be used for the
key_share sent by a client in a TLSv1.3
\fBClientHello.
.Sp
The
value argument is a colon separated list of groups. The group can be
either the
\s-1NIST\s0 name (e.g.
P-256), some other commonly used name where
applicable (e.g.
X25519,
ffdhe2048) or an OpenSSL \s-1OID\s0 name
(e.g.
prime256v1). Group names are case sensitive. The list should be in
order of preference with the most preferred group first.
.Sp
Currently supported groups for
TLSv1.3 are
P-256,
P-384,
P-521,
\fBX25519,
X448,
ffdhe2048,
ffdhe3072,
ffdhe4096,
ffdhe6144,
\fBffdhe8192.
"Curves" 4
Item "Curves" This is a synonym for the \*(L"Groups\*(R" command.
"MinProtocol" 4
Item "MinProtocol" This sets the minimum supported \s-1SSL, TLS\s0 or \s-1DTLS\s0 version.
.Sp
Currently supported protocol values are
SSLv3,
TLSv1,
TLSv1.1,
\fBTLSv1.2,
TLSv1.3,
DTLSv1 and
DTLSv1.2.
The \s-1SSL\s0 and \s-1TLS\s0 bounds apply only to TLS-based contexts, while the \s-1DTLS\s0 bounds
apply only to DTLS-based contexts.
The command can be repeated with one instance setting a \s-1TLS\s0 bound, and the
other setting a \s-1DTLS\s0 bound.
The value
None applies to both types of contexts and disables the limits.
"MaxProtocol" 4
Item "MaxProtocol" This sets the maximum supported \s-1SSL, TLS\s0 or \s-1DTLS\s0 version.
.Sp
Currently supported protocol values are
SSLv3,
TLSv1,
TLSv1.1,
\fBTLSv1.2,
TLSv1.3,
DTLSv1 and
DTLSv1.2.
The \s-1SSL\s0 and \s-1TLS\s0 bounds apply only to TLS-based contexts, while the \s-1DTLS\s0 bounds
apply only to DTLS-based contexts.
The command can be repeated with one instance setting a \s-1TLS\s0 bound, and the
other setting a \s-1DTLS\s0 bound.
The value
None applies to both types of contexts and disables the limits.
"Protocol" 4
Item "Protocol" This can be used to enable or disable certain versions of the \s-1SSL,
TLS\s0 or \s-1DTLS\s0 protocol.
.Sp
The
value argument is a comma separated list of supported protocols
to enable or disable.
If a protocol is preceded by
- that version is disabled.
.Sp
All protocol versions are enabled by default.
You need to disable at least one protocol version for this setting have any
effect.
Only enabling some protocol versions does not disable the other protocol
versions.
.Sp
Currently supported protocol values are
SSLv3,
TLSv1,
TLSv1.1,
\fBTLSv1.2,
TLSv1.3,
DTLSv1 and
DTLSv1.2.
The special value
\s-1ALL\s0 refers to all supported versions.
.Sp
This can't enable protocols that are disabled using
MinProtocol
or
MaxProtocol, but can disable protocols that are still allowed
by them.
.Sp
The
Protocol command is fragile and deprecated; do not use it.
Use
MinProtocol and
MaxProtocol instead.
If you do use
Protocol, make sure that the resulting range of enabled
protocols has no \*(L"holes\*(R", e.g. if \s-1TLS 1.0\s0 and \s-1TLS 1.2\s0 are both enabled, make
sure to also leave \s-1TLS 1.1\s0 enabled.
"Options" 4
Item "Options" The
value argument is a comma separated list of various flags to set.
If a flag string is preceded
- it is disabled.
See the
SSL_CTX_set_options\|(3) function for more details of
individual options.
.Sp
Each option is listed below. Where an operation is enabled by default
the
-flag syntax is needed to disable it.
.Sp
\fBSessionTicket: session ticket support, enabled by default. Inverse of
\fB\s-1SSL_OP_NO_TICKET\s0: that is
-SessionTicket is the same as setting
\fB\s-1SSL_OP_NO_TICKET\s0.

\s-1SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION\s0.
.Sp
\fBUnsafeLegacyRenegotiation: permits the use of unsafe legacy renegotiation.
Equivalent to
\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION\s0.
.Sp
\fBUnsafeLegacyServerConnect: permits the use of unsafe legacy renegotiation
for OpenSSL clients only. Equivalent to
\s-1SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\s0.
.Sp
\fBEncryptThenMac: use encrypt-then-mac extension, enabled by
default. Inverse of
\s-1SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC\s0: that is,
\fB-EncryptThenMac is the same as setting
\s-1SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC\s0.
.Sp
\fBAllowNoDHEKEX: In TLSv1.3 allow a non-(ec)dhe based key exchange mode on
resumption. This means that there will be no forward secrecy for the resumed
session. Equivalent to
\s-1SSL_OP_ALLOW_NO_DHE_KEX\s0.
.Sp
\fBMiddleboxCompat: If set then dummy Change Cipher Spec (\s-1CCS\s0) messages are sent
in TLSv1.3. This has the effect of making TLSv1.3 look more like TLSv1.2 so that
middleboxes that do not understand TLSv1.3 will not drop the connection. This
option is set by default. A future version of OpenSSL may not set this by
default. Equivalent to
\s-1SSL_OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT\s0.
.Sp
\fBAntiReplay: If set then OpenSSL will automatically detect if a session ticket
has been used more than once, TLSv1.3 has been negotiated, and early data is
enabled on the server. A full handshake is forced if a session ticket is used a
second or subsequent time. This option is set by default and is only used by
servers. Anti-replay measures are required to comply with the TLSv1.3
specification. Some applications may be able to mitigate the replay risks in
other ways and in such cases the built-in OpenSSL functionality is not required.
Disabling anti-replay is equivalent to setting
\s-1SSL_OP_NO_ANTI_REPLAY\s0.
.Sp
\fBExtendedMasterSecret: use extended master secret extension, enabled by
default. Inverse of
\s-1SSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET\s0: that is,
\fB-ExtendedMasterSecret is the same as setting
\s-1SSL_OP_NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET\s0.
.Sp
\fBCANames: use \s-1CA\s0 names extension, enabled by
default. Inverse of
\s-1SSL_OP_DISABLE_TLSEXT_CA_NAMES\s0: that is,
\fB-CANames is the same as setting
\s-1SSL_OP_DISABLE_TLSEXT_CA_NAMES\s0.
.Sp
\fB\s-1KTLS\s0: Enables kernel \s-1TLS\s0 if support has been compiled in, and it is supported
by the negotiated ciphersuites and extensions. Equivalent to
\fB\s-1SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS\s0.
"VerifyMode" 4
Item "VerifyMode" The
value argument is a comma separated list of flags to set.
.Sp
\fBPeer enables peer verification: for clients only.
.Sp
\fBRequest requests but does not require a certificate from the client.
Servers only.
.Sp
\fBRequire requests and requires a certificate from the client: an error
occurs if the client does not present a certificate. Servers only.
.Sp
\fBOnce requests a certificate from a client only on the initial connection:
not when renegotiating. Servers only.
.Sp
\fBRequestPostHandshake configures the connection to support requests but does
not require a certificate from the client post-handshake. A certificate will
not be requested during the initial handshake. The server application must
provide a mechanism to request a certificate post-handshake. Servers only.
TLSv1.3 only.
.Sp
\fBRequiresPostHandshake configures the connection to support requests and
requires a certificate from the client post-handshake: an error occurs if the
client does not present a certificate. A certificate will not be requested
during the initial handshake. The server application must provide a mechanism
to request a certificate post-handshake. Servers only. TLSv1.3 only.
"ClientCAFile, ClientCAPath" 4
Item "ClientCAFile, ClientCAPath" A file or directory of certificates in \s-1PEM\s0 format whose names are used as the
set of acceptable names for client CAs. Servers only. This option is only
supported if certificate operations are permitted.
"SUPPORTED COMMAND TYPES"
Header "SUPPORTED COMMAND TYPES" The function
SSL_CONF_cmd_value_type() currently returns one of the following
types:
"\s-1SSL_CONF_TYPE_UNKNOWN\s0" 4
Item "SSL_CONF_TYPE_UNKNOWN" The
option string is unrecognised, this return value can be use to flag
syntax errors.
"\s-1SSL_CONF_TYPE_STRING\s0" 4
Item "SSL_CONF_TYPE_STRING" The value is a string without any specific structure.
"\s-1SSL_CONF_TYPE_FILE\s0" 4
Item "SSL_CONF_TYPE_FILE" The value is a filename.
"\s-1SSL_CONF_TYPE_DIR\s0" 4
Item "SSL_CONF_TYPE_DIR" The value is a directory name.
"\s-1SSL_CONF_TYPE_NONE\s0" 4
Item "SSL_CONF_TYPE_NONE" The value string is not used e.g. a command line option which doesn't take an
argument.
"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" The order of operations is significant. This can be used to set either defaults
or values which cannot be overridden. For example if an application calls:
.Vb 2
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Protocol", "-SSLv3");
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, userparam, uservalue);
.Ve
it will disable SSLv3 support by default but the user can override it. If
however the call sequence is:
.Vb 2
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, userparam, uservalue);
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Protocol", "-SSLv3");
.Ve
SSLv3 is always disabled and attempt to override this by the user are
ignored.
By checking the return code of SSL_CONF_cmd() it is possible to query if a
given option is recognised, this is useful if SSL_CONF_cmd() values are
mixed with additional application specific operations.
For example an application might call SSL_CONF_cmd() and if it returns
\-2 (unrecognised command) continue with processing of application specific
commands.
Applications can also use SSL_CONF_cmd() to process command lines though the
utility function SSL_CONF_cmd_argv() is normally used instead. One way
to do this is to set the prefix to an appropriate value using
\fBSSL_CONF_CTX_set1_prefix(), pass the current argument to option and the
following argument to value (which may be \s-1NULL\s0).
In this case if the return value is positive then it is used to skip that
number of arguments as they have been processed by SSL_CONF_cmd(). If -2 is
returned then option is not recognised and application specific arguments
can be checked instead. If -3 is returned a required argument is missing
and an error is indicated. If 0 is returned some other error occurred and
this can be reported back to the user.
The function SSL_CONF_cmd_value_type() can be used by applications to
check for the existence of a command or to perform additional syntax
checking or translation of the command value. For example if the return
value is \s-1SSL_CONF_TYPE_FILE\s0 an application could translate a relative
pathname to an absolute pathname.
"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBSSL_CONF_cmd() returns 1 if the value of
option is recognised and
value is
\fB\s-1NOT\s0 used and 2 if both
option and
value are used. In other words it
returns the number of arguments processed. This is useful when processing
command lines.
A return value of -2 means option is not recognised.
A return value of -3 means option is recognised and the command requires a
value but value is \s-1NULL.\s0
A return code of 0 indicates that both option and value are valid but an
error occurred attempting to perform the operation: for example due to an
error in the syntax of value in this case the error queue may provide
additional information.
"EXAMPLES"
Header "EXAMPLES" Set supported signature algorithms:
.Vb 1
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "SignatureAlgorithms", "ECDSA+SHA256:RSA+SHA256:DSA+SHA256");
.Ve
There are various ways to select the supported protocols.
This set the minimum protocol version to TLSv1, and so disables SSLv3.
This is the recommended way to disable protocols.
.Vb 1
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "MinProtocol", "TLSv1");
.Ve
The following also disables SSLv3:
.Vb 1
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Protocol", "-SSLv3");
.Ve
The following will first enable all protocols, and then disable
SSLv3.
If no protocol versions were disabled before this has the same effect as
\*(L"-SSLv3\*(R", but if some versions were disables this will re-enable them before
disabling SSLv3.
.Vb 1
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Protocol", "ALL,-SSLv3");
.Ve
Only enable TLSv1.2:
.Vb 2
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "MinProtocol", "TLSv1.2");
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "MaxProtocol", "TLSv1.2");
.Ve
This also only enables TLSv1.2:
.Vb 1
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Protocol", "-ALL,TLSv1.2");
.Ve
Disable \s-1TLS\s0 session tickets:
.Vb 1
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Options", "-SessionTicket");
.Ve
Enable compression:
.Vb 1
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Options", "Compression");
.Ve
Set supported curves to P-256, P-384:
.Vb 1
SSL_CONF_cmd(ctx, "Curves", "P-256:P-384");
.Ve

"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" The
SSL_CONF_cmd() function was added in OpenSSL 1.0.2.
The \s-1SSL_OP_NO_SSL2\s0 option doesn't have effect since 1.1.0, but the macro
is retained for backwards compatibility.
The \s-1SSL_CONF_TYPE_NONE\s0 was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0. In earlier versions of
OpenSSL passing a command which didn't take an argument would return
\fB\s-1SSL_CONF_TYPE_UNKNOWN\s0.
\fBMinProtocol and MaxProtocol where added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
\fBAllowNoDHEKEX and PrioritizeChaCha were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
The UnsafeLegacyServerConnect option is no longer set by default from
OpenSSL 3.0.
