     SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3)ar/2001 (0.9.7e)_CTX_set_ssl_version(3)


     NAME
          SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version, SSL_set_ssl_method,
          SSL_get_ssl_method - choose a new TLS/SSL method

     SYNOPSIS
           #include <openssl/ssl.h>

           int SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(SSL_CTX *ctx, SSL_METHOD *method);
           int SSL_set_ssl_method(SSL *s, SSL_METHOD *method);
           SSL_METHOD *SSL_get_ssl_method(SSL *ssl);


     DESCRIPTION
          SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() sets a new default TLS/SSL method
          for SSL objects newly created from this ctx. SSL objects
          already created with SSL_new(3) are not affected, except
          when SSL_clear(3) is being called.

          SSL_set_ssl_method() sets a new TLS/SSL method for a
          particular ssl object. It may be reset, when SSL_clear() is
          called.

          SSL_get_ssl_method() returns a function pointer to the
          TLS/SSL method set in ssl.

     NOTES
          The available method choices are described in
          SSL_CTX_new(3).

          When SSL_clear(3) is called and no session is connected to
          an SSL object, the method of the SSL object is reset to the
          method currently set in the corresponding SSL_CTX object.

     RETURN VALUES
          The following return values can occur for
          SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version() and SSL_set_ssl_method():

          0   The new choice failed, check the error stack to find out
              the reason.

          1   The operation succeeded.
