DESCRIPTION

20       SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets() and SSL_set_num_tickets() can be called for a
21       server application and set the number of TLSv1.3 session tickets that
22       will be sent to the client after a full handshake. Set the desired
23       value (which could be 0) in the num_tickets argument. Typically these
24       functions should be called before the start of the handshake.
25
26       The default number of tickets is 2. Following a resumption the number
27       of tickets issued will never be more than 1 regardless of the value set
28       via SSL_set_num_tickets() or SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(). If num_tickets
29       is set to 0 then no tickets will be issued for either a normal
30       connection or a resumption.
31
32       Tickets are also issued on receipt of a post-handshake certificate from
33       the client following a request by the server using
34       SSL_verify_client_post_handshake(3). These new tickets will be
35       associated with the updated client identity (i.e. including their
36       certificate and verification status). The number of tickets issued will
37       normally be the same as was used for the initial handshake. If the
38       initial handshake was a full handshake then SSL_set_num_tickets() can
39       be called again prior to calling SSL_verify_client_post_handshake() to
40       update the number of tickets that will be sent.
41
42       To issue tickets after other events (such as application-layer
43       changes), SSL_new_session_ticket() is used by a server application to
44       request that a new ticket be sent when it is safe to do so.  New
45       tickets are only allowed to be sent in this manner after the initial
46       handshake has completed, and only for TLS 1.3 connections.  By default,
47       the ticket generation and transmission are delayed until the server is
48       starting a new write operation, so that it is bundled with other
49       application data being written and properly aligned to a record
50       boundary.  If the connection was at a record boundary when
51       SSL_new_session_ticket() was called, the ticket can be sent immediately
52       (without waiting for the next application write) by calling
53       SSL_do_handshake().  SSL_new_session_ticket() can be called more than
54       once to request additional tickets be sent; all such requests are
55       queued and written together when it is safe to do so and triggered by
56       SSL_write() or SSL_do_handshake().  Note that a successful return from
57       SSL_new_session_ticket() indicates only that the request to send a
58       ticket was processed, not that the ticket itself was sent.  To be
59       notified when the ticket itself is sent, a new-session callback can be
60       registered with SSL_CTX_sess_set_new_cb(3) that will be invoked as the
61       ticket or tickets are generated.
62
63       SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets() and SSL_get_num_tickets() return the number
64       of tickets set by a previous call to SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets() or
65       SSL_set_num_tickets(), or 2 if no such call has been made.
66

RETURN VALUES

68       SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(), SSL_set_num_tickets(), and
69       SSL_new_session_ticket() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
70
71       SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets() and SSL_get_num_tickets() return the number
72       of tickets that have been previously set.
