Class SSL.context

Description
: Keeps the state that is shared by all SSL-connections for one server (or one port). It includes policy configuration, a server certificate, the server's private key(s), etc. It also includes the session cache.


: object SSL.context()->long_rsa
object SSL.context()->short_rsa
Description
: Temporary, non-certified, private keys, used with a server_key_exchange message. The rules are as follows:

If the negotiated cipher_suite has the "exportable" property, and short_rsa is not zero, send a server_key_exchange message with the (public part of) the short_rsa key.

If the negotiated cipher_suite does not have the exportable property, and long_rsa is not zero, send a server_key_exchange message with the (public part of) the long_rsa key.

Otherwise, dont send any server_key_exchange message.

Variable random
: function(int:string) SSL.context()->random
Description
: Used to generate random cookies for the hello-message. If we use the RSA keyexchange method, and this is a server, this random number generator is not used for generating the master_secret.

Variable certificates
: array(string) SSL.context()->certificates
Description
: The server's certificate, or a chain of X509.v3 certificates, with the server's certificate first and root certificate last.

Variable preferred_auth_methods
: array(int) SSL.context()->preferred_auth_methods
Description
: For client authentication. Used only if auth_level is AUTH_ask or AUTH_require.

Variable session_lifetime
: int SSL.context()->session_lifetime
Description
: Sessions are removed from the cache when they are older than this limit (in seconds). Sessions are also removed from the cache if a connection using the session dies unexpectedly.
