.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The behaviour of the \s-1SSL\s0 library can be changed by setting several options.
The options are coded as bitmasks and can be combined by a logical \fBor\fR
operation (|). Options can only be added but can never be reset.
.PP
\&\fISSL_CTX_set_options()\fR and \fISSL_set_options()\fR affect the (external)
protocol behaviour of the \s-1SSL\s0 library. The (internal) behaviour of
the \s-1API\s0 can be changed by using the similar
SSL_CTX_set_modes(3) and \fISSL_set_modes()\fR functions.
.PP
During a handshake, the option settings of the \s-1SSL\s0 object are used. When
a new \s-1SSL\s0 object is created from a context using \fISSL_new()\fR, the current
option setting is copied. Changes to \fBctx\fR do not affect already created
\&\s-1SSL\s0 objects. \fISSL_clear()\fR does not affect the settings.
.PP
The following \fBbug workaround\fR options are available:
.Ip "\s-1SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG"
www.microsoft.com \- when talking SSLv2, if session-id reuse is
performed, the session-id passed back in the server-finished message
is different from the one decided upon.
.Ip "\s-1SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CHALLENGE_BUG\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CHALLENGE_BUG"
Netscape-Commerce/1.12, when talking SSLv2, accepts a 32 byte
challenge but then appears to only use 16 bytes when generating the
encryption keys.  Using 16 bytes is ok but it should be ok to use 32.
According to the SSLv3 spec, one should use 32 bytes for the challenge
when operating in SSLv2/v3 compatibility mode, but as mentioned above,
this breaks this server so 16 bytes is the way to go.
.Ip "\s-1SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG"
ssl3.netscape.com:443, first a connection is established with \s-1RC4\-MD5\s0.
If it is then resumed, we end up using \s-1DES-CBC3\-SHA\s0.  It should be
\&\s-1RC4\-MD5\s0 according to 7.6.1.3, 'cipher_suite'.
.Sp
Netscape-Enterprise/2.01 (https://merchant.netscape.com) has this bug.
It only really shows up when connecting via SSLv2/v3 then reconnecting
via SSLv3. The cipher list changes....
.Sp
\&\s-1NEW\s0 \s-1INFORMATION\s0.  Try connecting with a cipher list of just
\&\s-1DES-CBC-SHA:RC4\-MD5\s0.  For some weird reason, each new connection uses
\&\s-1RC4\-MD5\s0, but a re-connect tries to use \s-1DES-CBC-SHA\s0.  So netscape, when
doing a re-connect, always takes the first cipher in the cipher list.

.IX Item "SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG"
Disable version rollback attack detection.
.Sp
During the client key exchange, the client must send the same information
about acceptable \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 protocol levels as during the first hello. Some
clients violate this rule by adapting to the server's answer. (Example:
the client sends a SSLv2 hello and accepts up to SSLv3.1=TLSv1, the server
only understands up to SSLv3. In this case the client must still use the
same SSLv3.1=TLSv1 announcement. Some clients step down to SSLv3 with respect
to the server's answer and violate the version rollback protection.)
.Ip "\s-1SSL_OP_ALL\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_ALL"
All of the above bug workarounds.
.PP
It is save and recommended to use \s-1SSL_OP_ALL\s0 to enable the bug workaround
options.
.PP
The following \fBmodifying\fR options are available:
.Ip "\s-1SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE"
Always create a new key when using temporary/ephemeral \s-1DH\s0 parameters
(see SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback(3)).
This option must be used to prevent small subgroup attacks, when
the \s-1DH\s0 parameters were not generated using \*(L"strong\*(R" primes
(e.g. when using DSA-parameters, see dhparam(1)).
If \*(L"strong\*(R" primes were used, it is not strictly necessary to generate
a new \s-1DH\s0 key during each handshake but it is also recommended.
\&\s-1SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE\s0 should therefore be enabled whenever
temporary/ephemeral \s-1DH\s0 parameters are used.
.Ip "\s-1SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA"
Always use ephemeral (temporary) \s-1RSA\s0 key when doing \s-1RSA\s0 operations
(see SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback(3)).
According to the specifications this is only done, when a \s-1RSA\s0 key
can only be used for signature operations (namely under export ciphers
with restricted \s-1RSA\s0 keylength). By setting this option, ephemeral
\&\s-1RSA\s0 keys are always used. This option breaks compatibility with the
\&\s-1SSL/TLS\s0 specifications and may lead to interoperability problems with
clients and should therefore never be used. Ciphers with \s-1EDH\s0 (ephemeral
Diffie-Hellman) key exchange should be used instead.
.Ip "\s-1SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK_1\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK_1"
\&...
.Ip "\s-1SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK_2\s0" 4

\&...
.Ip "\s-1SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CA_DN_BUG\s0" 4
.IX Item "SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CA_DN_BUG"
If we accept a netscape connection, demand a client cert, have a
non-self-sighed \s-1CA\s0 which does not have it's \s-1CA\s0 in netscape, and the
browser has a cert, it will crash/hang.  Works for 3.x and 4.xbeta

.Ip "SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2" 4
