Hi Matt,
Yes, I want to abort the session without notifying the client.
SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL sent " 15 03 03 00 02 02 00" to client.
What can I do to not send the message?
You want to abort the handshake without sending an alert? That would be
a protocol violation. Don't do that.
Matt
Thanks

Hi,
I am implementing an SSL server.
Using SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback I'm checking the SNI.
When SNI meets my requirements (for example does not contain offensive
words) I allow the handshake by returning SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK.
When there is an offensive word, I do not want to send Server Hello
message. I try to do this by returning SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK.
If you don't want the ServerHello to be sent then you are aborting the
handshake. In that case you should return SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL. By
comparison SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK is a non-fatal return code. The SNI request is
not acknowledged by the server (i.e. it acts the same way as if SNI was not
configured on the server at all), but no alerts are sent so the handshake
proceeds as normal.

For some reason, the server is still sending the message, and I wonder why?
SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_WARNING works as expected.
I'm using OpenSSL 1.1.1f and Wireshark to verify what I say.
Thanks
