=head1 NAME
SSL_set_num_tickets,
SSL_get_num_tickets,
SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets,
SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets
- control the number of TLSv1.3 session tickets that are issued
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_set_num_tickets(SSL *s, size_t num_tickets);
size_t SSL_get_num_tickets(SSL *s);
int SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(SSL_CTX *ctx, size_t num_tickets);
size_t SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets(SSL_CTX *ctx);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets() and SSL_set_num_tickets() can be called for a server
application and set the number of session tickets that will be sent to the
client after a full handshake. Set the desired value (which could be 0) in the
B<num_tickets> argument. Typically these functions should be called before the
start of the handshake.
The default number of tickets is 2; the default number of tickets sent following
a resumption handshake is 1 but this cannot be changed using these functions.
The number of tickets following a resumption handshake can be reduced to 0 using
custom session ticket callbacks (see L<SSL_CTX_set_session_ticket_cb(3)>).
Tickets are also issued on receipt of a post-handshake certificate from the
client following a request by the server using
L<SSL_verify_client_post_handshake(3)>. These new tickets will be associated
with the updated client identity (i.e. including their certificate and
verification status). The number of tickets issued will normally be the same as
was used for the initial handshake. If the initial handshake was a full
handshake then SSL_set_num_tickets() can be called again prior to calling
SSL_verify_client_post_handshake() to update the number of tickets that will be
sent.
SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets() and SSL_get_num_tickets() return the number of
tickets set by a previous call to SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets() or
SSL_set_num_tickets(), or 2 if no such call has been made.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets() and SSL_set_num_tickets() return 1 on success or 0 on
failure.
SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets() and SSL_get_num_tickets() return the number of tickets
that have been previously set.
=head1 HISTORY
These functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
