SSL_CTX_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CALLBACK(3ossl)                          OpenSSL



NAME

       SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback,
       SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg, SSL_get_servername_type,
       SSL_get_servername, SSL_set_tlsext_host_name - handle server name
       indication (SNI)


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        long SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx,
                                          int (*cb)(SSL *s, int *al, void *arg));
        long SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg(SSL_CTX *ctx, void *arg);

        const char *SSL_get_servername(const SSL *s, const int type);
        int SSL_get_servername_type(const SSL *s);

        int SSL_set_tlsext_host_name(const SSL *s, const char *name);


DESCRIPTION

       The functionality provided by the servername callback is mostly
       superseded by the ClientHello callback, which can be set using
       SSL_CTX_set_client_hello_cb().  However, even where the ClientHello
       callback is used, the servername callback is still necessary in order
       to acknowledge the servername requested by the client.

       SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback(3) sets the application callback
       cb used by a server to perform any actions or configuration required
       based on the servername extension received in the incoming connection.
       When cb is NULL, SNI is not used.

       The servername callback should return one of the following values:

       SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK
           This is used to indicate that the servername requested by the
           client has been accepted. Typically a server will call
           SSL_set_SSL_CTX() in the callback to set up a different
           configuration for the selected servername in this case.

       SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL
           In this case the servername requested by the client is not accepted
           and the handshake will be aborted. The value of the alert to be
           used should be stored in the location pointed to by the al
           parameter to the callback. By default this value is initialised to
           SSL_AD_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME.

       SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_WARNING
           If this value is returned then the servername is not accepted by
           the server.  However, the handshake will continue and send a
           warning alert instead. The value of the alert should be stored in
           the location pointed to by the al parameter as for
           SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL above. Note that TLSv1.3 does not
           support warning alerts, so if TLSv1.3 has been negotiated then this
           return value is treated the same way as SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK.

       SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK
           This return value indicates that the servername is not accepted by
           the server.  No alerts are sent and the server will not acknowledge
           the requested servername.

       SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg() sets a context-specific argument to
       be passed into the callback (via the arg parameter) for this SSL_CTX.

       The behaviour of SSL_get_servername() depends on a number of different
       factors.  In particular note that in TLSv1.3 the servername is
       negotiated in every handshake. In TLSv1.2 the servername is only
       negotiated on initial handshakes and not on resumption handshakes.

       On the client, before the handshake
           If a servername has been set via a call to
           SSL_set_tlsext_host_name() then it will return that servername.

           If one has not been set, but a TLSv1.2 resumption is being
           attempted and the session from the original handshake had a
           servername accepted by the server then it will return that
           servername.

           Otherwise it returns NULL.

       On the client, during or after the handshake and a TLSv1.2 (or below)
       resumption occurred
           If the session from the original handshake had a servername
           accepted by the server then it will return that servername.

           Otherwise it returns the servername set via
           SSL_set_tlsext_host_name() or NULL if it was not called.

       On the client, during or after the handshake and a TLSv1.2 (or below)
       resumption did not occur
           It will return the servername set via SSL_set_tlsext_host_name() or
           NULL if it was not called.

       On the server, before the handshake
           The function will always return NULL before the handshake

       On the server, after the servername extension has been processed and a
       TLSv1.2 (or below) resumption occurred
           If a servername was accepted by the server in the original
           handshake then it will return that servername, or NULL otherwise.

       On the server, after the servername extension has been processed and a
       TLSv1.2 (or below) resumption did not occur
           The function will return the servername requested by the client in
           this handshake or NULL if none was requested.

       Note that the ClientHello callback occurs before a servername extension
       from the client is processed. The servername, certificate and ALPN
       callbacks occur after a servername extension from the client is
       processed.

       SSL_get_servername_type() returns the servername type or -1 if no
       servername is present. Currently the only supported type (defined in
       RFC3546) is TLSEXT_NAMETYPE_host_name.

       SSL_set_tlsext_host_name() sets the server name indication ClientHello
       extension to contain the value name. The type of server name indication
       extension is set to TLSEXT_NAMETYPE_host_name (defined in RFC3546).


NOTES

       Several callbacks are executed during ClientHello processing, including
       the ClientHello, ALPN, and servername callbacks.  The ClientHello
       callback is executed first, then the servername callback, followed by
       the ALPN callback.

       The SSL_set_tlsext_host_name() function should only be called on SSL
       objects that will act as clients; otherwise the configured name will be
       ignored.


RETURN VALUES

       SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback(3) and
       SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg() both always return 1 indicating
       success.  SSL_set_tlsext_host_name() returns 1 on success, 0 in case of
       error.

HISTORY

       SSL_get_servername() historically provided some unexpected results in
       certain corner cases. This has been fixed from OpenSSL 1.1.1e.

       Prior to 1.1.1e, when the client requested a servername in an initial
       TLSv1.2 handshake, the server accepted it, and then the client
       successfully resumed but set a different explicit servername in the
       second handshake then when called by the client it returned the
       servername from the second handshake. This has now been changed to
       return the servername requested in the original handshake.

       Also prior to 1.1.1e, if the client sent a servername in the first
       handshake but the server did not accept it, and then a second handshake
       occurred where TLSv1.2 resumption was successful then when called by
       the server it returned the servername requested in the original
       handshake. This has now been changed to NULL.
