DESCRIPTION
SSL_SESSION_get_time()
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(3) call.
SSL_SESSION_set_time()
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.
The
SSL_get_time(),
SSL_set_time(),
SSL_get_timeout(),
and
SSL_set_timeout()
functions are synonyms for the
SSL_SESSION_*()
counterparts.
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() and
SSL_SESSION_get_timeout() return the currently valid
values.
SSL_SESSION_set_time() and
SSL_SESSION_set_timeout() return 1 on success.
If any of the function is passed the NULL
pointer for the session s, 0 is returned.
