SSL_do_handshake - perform a TLS/SSL handshake
9
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
11
int SSL_do_handshake(SSL *ssl);
15
SSL_do_handshake() will wait for a SSL/TLS handshake to take place. If the
16
connection is in client mode, the handshake will be started. The handshake
17
routines may have to be explicitly set in advance using either
18
L<SSL_set_connect_state(3)|SSL_set_connect_state(3)> or
19
L<SSL_set_accept_state(3)|SSL_set_accept_state(3)>.
23
The behaviour of SSL_do_handshake() depends on the underlying BIO.
25
If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_do_handshake() will only return
26
once the handshake has been finished or an error occurred, except for SGC
27
(Server Gated Cryptography). For SGC, SSL_do_handshake() may return with -1,
28
but SSL_get_error() will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ/WRITE> and
29
SSL_do_handshake() should be called again.
31
If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, SSL_do_handshake() will also return
32
when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_do_handshake()
33
to continue the handshake. In this case a call to SSL_get_error() with the
34
return value of SSL_do_handshake() will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ> or
35
B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE>. The calling process then must repeat the call after
36
taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of SSL_do_handshake().
37
The action depends on the underlying BIO. When using a non-blocking socket,
38
nothing is to be done, but select() can be used to check for the required
39
condition. When using a buffering BIO, like a BIO pair, data must be written
40
into or retrieved out of the BIO before being able to continue.
44
The following return values can occur:
50
The TLS/SSL handshake was successfully completed, a TLS/SSL connection has been
55
The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and
56
by the specifications of the TLS/SSL protocol. Call SSL_get_error() with the
57
return value B<ret> to find out the reason.
61
The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful because a fatal error occurred either
62
at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred. The shutdown was
63
not clean. It can also occur of action is need to continue the operation
64
for non-blocking BIOs. Call SSL_get_error() with the return value B<ret>
65
to find out the reason.
