| =head1 NAME |
| |
| SSL_CTX_set_options, SSL_set_options, SSL_CTX_get_options, SSL_get_options - manipulate SSL engine options |
| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| #include <openssl/ssl.h> |
| |
| long SSL_CTX_set_options(SSL_CTX *ctx, long options); |
| long SSL_set_options(SSL *ssl, long options); |
| |
| long SSL_CTX_get_options(SSL_CTX *ctx); |
| long SSL_get_options(SSL *ssl); |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| SSL_CTX_set_options() adds the options set via bitmask in B<options> to B<ctx>. |
| Options already set before are not cleared! |
| |
| SSL_set_options() adds the options set via bitmask in B<options> to B<ssl>. |
| Options already set before are not cleared! |
| |
| SSL_CTX_get_options() returns the options set for B<ctx>. |
| |
| SSL_get_options() returns the options set for B<ssl>. |
| |
| =head1 NOTES |
| |
| The behaviour of the SSL library can be changed by setting several options. |
| The options are coded as bitmasks and can be combined by a logical B<or> |
| operation (|). Options can only be added but can never be reset. |
| |
| SSL_CTX_set_options() and SSL_set_options() affect the (external) |
| protocol behaviour of the SSL library. The (internal) behaviour of |
| the API can be changed by using the similar |
| L<SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)|SSL_CTX_set_mode(3)> and SSL_set_mode() functions. |
| |
| During a handshake, the option settings of the SSL object are used. When |
| a new SSL object is created from a context using SSL_new(), the current |
| option setting is copied. Changes to B<ctx> do not affect already created |
| SSL objects. SSL_clear() does not affect the settings. |
| |
| The following B<bug workaround> options are available: |

| =item SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG |
| |
| www.microsoft.com - when talking SSLv2, if session-id reuse is |
| performed, the session-id passed back in the server-finished message |
| is different from the one decided upon. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CHALLENGE_BUG |
| |
| Netscape-Commerce/1.12, when talking SSLv2, accepts a 32 byte |
| challenge but then appears to only use 16 bytes when generating the |
| encryption keys. Using 16 bytes is ok but it should be ok to use 32. |
| According to the SSLv3 spec, one should use 32 bytes for the challenge |
| when operating in SSLv2/v3 compatibility mode, but as mentioned above, |
| this breaks this server so 16 bytes is the way to go. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG |
| |
| ssl3.netscape.com:443, first a connection is established with RC4-MD5. |
| If it is then resumed, we end up using DES-CBC3-SHA. It should be |
| RC4-MD5 according to 7.6.1.3, 'cipher_suite'. |
| |
| Netscape-Enterprise/2.01 (https://merchant.netscape.com) has this bug. |
| It only really shows up when connecting via SSLv2/v3 then reconnecting |
| via SSLv3. The cipher list changes.... |
| |
| NEW INFORMATION. Try connecting with a cipher list of just |
| DES-CBC-SHA:RC4-MD5. For some weird reason, each new connection uses |
| RC4-MD5, but a re-connect tries to use DES-CBC-SHA. So netscape, when |
| doing a re-connect, always takes the first cipher in the cipher list. |

| =item SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS |
| |
| Disables a countermeasure against a SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol |
| vulnerability affecting CBC ciphers, which cannot be handled by some |
| broken SSL implementations. This option has no effect for connections |
| using other ciphers. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_ALL |
| |
| All of the above bug workarounds. |
| |
| =back |
| |
| It is usually safe to use B<SSL_OP_ALL> to enable the bug workaround |
| options if compatibility with somewhat broken implementations is |
| desired. |
| |
| The following B<modifying> options are available: |
| |
| =over 4 |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG |
| |
| Disable version rollback attack detection. |
| |
| During the client key exchange, the client must send the same information |
| about acceptable SSL/TLS protocol levels as during the first hello. Some |
| clients violate this rule by adapting to the server's answer. (Example: |
| the client sends a SSLv2 hello and accepts up to SSLv3.1=TLSv1, the server |
| only understands up to SSLv3. In this case the client must still use the |
| same SSLv3.1=TLSv1 announcement. Some clients step down to SSLv3 with respect |
| to the server's answer and violate the version rollback protection.) |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE |
| |
| Always create a new key when using temporary/ephemeral DH parameters |
| (see L<SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback(3)|SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback(3)>). |
| This option must be used to prevent small subgroup attacks, when |
| the DH parameters were not generated using "strong" primes |
| (e.g. when using DSA-parameters, see L<dhparam(1)|dhparam(1)>). |
| If "strong" primes were used, it is not strictly necessary to generate |
| a new DH key during each handshake but it is also recommended. |
| B<SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE> should therefore be enabled whenever |
| temporary/ephemeral DH parameters are used. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA |
| |
| Always use ephemeral (temporary) RSA key when doing RSA operations |
| (see L<SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback(3)|SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback(3)>). |
| According to the specifications this is only done, when a RSA key |
| can only be used for signature operations (namely under export ciphers |
| with restricted RSA keylength). By setting this option, ephemeral |
| RSA keys are always used. This option breaks compatibility with the |
| SSL/TLS specifications and may lead to interoperability problems with |
| clients and should therefore never be used. Ciphers with EDH (ephemeral |
| Diffie-Hellman) key exchange should be used instead. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE |
| |
| When choosing a cipher, use the server's preferences instead of the client |
| preferences. When not set, the SSL server will always follow the clients |
| preferences. When set, the SSLv3/TLSv1 server will choose following its |
| own preferences. Because of the different protocol, for SSLv2 the server |
| will send his list of preferences to the client and the client chooses. |

| =item SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CA_DN_BUG |
| |
| If we accept a netscape connection, demand a client cert, have a |
| non-self-sighed CA which does not have it's CA in netscape, and the |
| browser has a cert, it will crash/hang. Works for 3.x and 4.xbeta |

| =item SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 |

| =item SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3 |
| |
| Do not use the SSLv3 protocol. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1 |
| |
| Do not use the TLSv1 protocol. |
| |
| =item SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION |
| |
| When performing renegotiation as a server, always start a new session |
| (i.e., session resumption requests are only accepted in the initial |
| handshake). This option is not needed for clients. |

| =head1 HISTORY |
| |
| B<SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE> and |
| B<SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION> have been added in |
| OpenSSL 0.9.7. |
| |
| B<SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG> has been added in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and was automatically |
| enabled with B<SSL_OP_ALL>. As of 0.9.7, it is no longer included in B<SSL_OP_ALL> |
| and must be explicitly set. |
| |
| B<SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS> has been added in OpenSSL 0.9.6e. |
| Versions up to OpenSSL 0.9.6c do not include the countermeasure that |
| can be disabled with this option (in OpenSSL 0.9.6d, it was always |
| enabled). |
