|
|
\&\fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR checks, whether a session with id \fBid\fR
|

(of length \fBid_len\fR) is already contained in the internal session cache
|
|
of the parent context of \fBssl\fR.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
When a new session is established between client and server, the server
|
|
generates a session id. The session id is an arbitrary sequence of bytes.
|
|
The length of the session id is 16 bytes for SSLv2 sessions and between
|
|
1 and 32 bytes for SSLv3/TLSv1. The session id is not security critical
|
|
but must be unique for the server. Additionally, the session id is
|
|
transmitted in the clear when reusing the session so it must not contain
|
|
sensitive information.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Without a callback being set, an OpenSSL server will generate a unique
|
|
session id from pseudo random numbers of the maximum possible length.
|
|
Using the callback function, the session id can be changed to contain
|
|
additional information like e.g. a host id in order to improve load balancing
|
|
or external caching techniques.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The callback function receives a pointer to the memory location to put
|
|
\&\fBid\fR into and a pointer to the maximum allowed length \fBid_len\fR. The
|
|
buffer at location \fBid\fR is only guaranteed to have the size \fBid_len\fR.
|
|
The callback is only allowed to generate a shorter id and reduce \fBid_len\fR;
|
|
the callback \fBmust never\fR increase \fBid_len\fR or write to the location
|
|
\&\fBid\fR exceeding the given limit.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If a SSLv2 session id is generated and \fBid_len\fR is reduced, it will be
|
|
restored after the callback has finished and the session id will be padded
|
|
with 0x00. It is not recommended to change the \fBid_len\fR for SSLv2 sessions.
|
|
The callback can use the SSL_get_version(3) function
|
|
to check, whether the session is of type SSLv2.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The location \fBid\fR is filled with 0x00 before the callback is called, so the
|
|
callback may only fill part of the possible length and leave \fBid_len\fR
|
|
untouched while maintaining reproducibility.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Since the sessions must be distinguished, session ids must be unique.
|
|
Without the callback a random number is used, so that the probability
|
|
of generating the same session id is extremely small (2^128 possible ids
|
|
for an SSLv2 session, 2^256 for SSLv3/TLSv1). In order to assure the
|
|
uniqueness of the generated session id, the callback must call
|
|
\&\fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR and generate another id if a conflict occurs.
|
|
If an id conflict is not resolved, the handshake will fail.
|
|
If the application codes e.g. a unique host id, a unique process number, and
|
|
a unique sequence number into the session id, uniqueness could easily be
|
|
achieved without randomness added (it should however be taken care that
|
|
no confidential information is leaked this way). If the application can not
|
|
guarantee uniqueness, it is recommended to use the maximum \fBid_len\fR and
|
|
fill in the bytes not used to code special information with random data
|
|
to avoid collisions.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR will only query the internal session cache,
|
|
not the external one. Since the session id is generated before the
|
|
handshake is completed, it is not immediately added to the cache. If
|
|
another thread is using the same internal session cache, a race condition
|
|
can occur in that another thread generates the same session id.
|
|
Collisions can also occur when using an external session cache, since
|
|
the external cache is not tested with \fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR
|
|
and the same race condition applies.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When calling \fISSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR for an SSLv2 session with
|
|
reduced \fBid_len\fR, the match operation will be performed using the
|
|
fixed length required and with a 0x00 padded id.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The callback must return 0 if it cannot generate a session id for whatever
|
|
reason and return 1 on success.
|
|
