This may be a repost (I sent this mail once but haven't got it or any replies to it from the majordomo).
My question, in short: Is there a way to serialize the contents of the SSL_CTX and SSL structs to a bio? Some more details: I'm trying to figure out a way to use SSL between the client and server of my application. The problem is that there are several different clients that may run simultaneously on the same machine, and the server is unaware of that... The clients can communicate with one another using shared memory and an event. Currently, I use this means of communication in order to share the session's security parameters (such as a session key, message sequence number etc.), and to avoid 2 requests being sent simultaneously to the server. If I change the protocol to SSL, each client must have an updated SSL struct in order to be able to communicate with the server. So I'm looking for a way to (1) make OpenSSL allocate the SSL struct in the shared memory or (2) dump the SSL struct (not a pointer to it) to the shared memory after a communication, and load it from the shared memory before a communication. I don't want to let each client use its own SSL connection (too much work on the server side). Answers, or new ideas are very welcome.
