SSL/TLS session IDs in a server. According to RFC2246, the session ID is an
arbitrary value chosen by the server. It can be useful to have some control
over this "arbitrary value" so as to choose it in ways that can aid in
things like external session caching and balancing (eg. clustering). The
default session ID generation is to fill the ID with random data.
The callback used by default is built in to ssl_sess.c, but registering a
callback in an SSL_CTX or in a particular SSL overrides this. BTW: SSL
callbacks will override SSL_CTX callbacks, and a new SSL structure inherits
any callback set in its 'parent' SSL_CTX. The header comments describe how
this mechanism ticks, and source code comments describe (hopefully) why it
ticks the way it does.
Man pages are on the way ...
[NB: Lutz was also hacking away and helping me to figure out how best to do
this.]
returns int (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). New function RAND_add() is the
same as RAND_seed() but takes an estimate of the entropy as an additional
argument.
While modifying the sources, I found some inconsistencies on the use of
s->cert vs. s->session->sess_cert; I don't know if those could
really have caused problems, but possibly this is a proper bug-fix
and not just a clean-up.
script, translates function codes better and doesn't need the K&R function
prototypes to work (NB. the K&R prototypes can't be wiped just yet: they are
still needed by the DEF generator...). I also ran the script with the -rewrite
option to update all the header and source files.
private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to their
SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This is needed
for applications which have to configure certificates on a per-connection
basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis (e.g.
s_server).
For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but for the DSA
certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher" problem where the
OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the temporary keys were not
overtaken from the context and the API provided no way to reconfigure them.
The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they are in
detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper function
and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.

Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
(because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
