NAME
SSL_SESSION_get_time, SSL_SESSION_set_time, SSL_SESSION_get_timeout,
SSL_SESSION_set_timeout, SSL_SESSION_get_time_ex,
SSL_SESSION_set_time_ex, SSL_get_time, SSL_set_time, SSL_get_timeout,
SSL_set_timeout - retrieve and manipulate session time and timeout
settings
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
long SSL_SESSION_get_timeout(const SSL_SESSION *s);
long SSL_SESSION_set_timeout(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
long SSL_get_timeout(const SSL_SESSION *s);
long SSL_set_timeout(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
time_t SSL_SESSION_get_time_ex(const SSL_SESSION *s);
time_t SSL_SESSION_set_time_ex(SSL_SESSION *s, time_t tm);
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.4, and can
be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
long SSL_SESSION_get_time(const SSL_SESSION *s);
long SSL_SESSION_set_time(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
long SSL_get_time(const SSL_SESSION *s);
long SSL_set_time(SSL_SESSION *s, long tm);
DESCRIPTION
SSL_SESSION_get_time_ex() returns the time at which the session s was
established. The time is given in seconds since the Epoch and therefore
compatible to the time delivered by the time() call.
SSL_SESSION_set_time_ex() replaces the creation time of the session s
with the chosen value tm.
SSL_SESSION_get_timeout() returns the timeout value set for session s
in seconds.
SSL_SESSION_set_timeout() sets the timeout value for session s in
seconds to tm.
SSL_SESSION_get_time(3) and SSL_SESSION_set_time() functions use the
long datatype instead of time_t and are therefore deprecated due to not
being Y2038-safe on 32 bit systems. Note that such systems still need
to be configured to use 64 bit time_t to be able to avoid overflow in
system time.
The SSL_get_time(), SSL_set_time(), SSL_get_timeout(), and
SSL_set_timeout() functions are synonyms for the SSL_SESSION_*()
counterparts.
NOTES
Sessions are expired by examining the creation time and the timeout
value. Both are set at creation time of the session to the actual time
and the default timeout value at creation, respectively, as set by
SSL_CTX_set_timeout(3). Using these functions it is possible to extend
or shorten the lifetime of the session.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_SESSION_get_time_ex() and SSL_SESSION_get_timeout() return the
currently valid values.
SSL_SESSION_set_time_ex() returns time on success.
SSL_SESSION_set_timeout() returns 1 on success.
If any of the function is passed the NULL pointer for the session s, 0
is returned.
BUGS
The data type long is typically 32 bits on many systems, hence the old
functions SSL_SESSION_get_time(3) and SSL_SESSION_set_time() are not
always Y2038 safe.
