RE: reference count of SSL session

But what I've noticed is, if the session expires, a new session is returned from a call to SSL_get_session() (address of new session is not equal to address of old session). So one would think the SSL_CTX would have a reference to the new session, and decrement the ref count on the old session.

Re: reference count of SSL session

Thanks for the reply. However I got more questions after seeing the response: 1. Does SSL_CTX keeps the session object for future reuse (or session resumption)? 2. How many of session objects does SSL_CTX try to keep (max bound of unfreed session objects)? 2. What (harm) will happen if I do e

RE: reference count of SSL session

one reference is hold by SSL_CTX's lhash, if I'm not wrong, so when u call SSL_CTX_free, session object get freed. Its required for session lookup on SSL_CTX basis.. Aslam -Original Message- From: Haihong Wang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 2:43 PM To: [EMAI

reference count of SSL session

Hi, all, I am writing some programs using openssl 0.9.6 and get some puzzling questions about reference count in the SSL session. Basically, I am looking into the internal data structure of SSL_SESSION: ... int references; } SSL_SESSION; as defined in openssl/ssl.h And from my understand

Re: how to generate authoritive CA

i don't know whether the third step you did is correct. you can get the request signed by using opesssl ca utility(just like openssl req) even after that your netscape will say untrusted certificate because how will netscape know that the CA which issued the certificate to your web server is t

Re: Convert IIS 5.0 certificate to pem

A cert installed on IIS 5.0 (.cer file) can be converted to pem format by just renaming it .pem(that is what i have been doing to use with openssl ca).but you will not have the private key. private key is not there in .cer file anyway. if you also want the private key you have to export the cert

Convert IIS 5.0 certificate to pem

Can a cert installed on IIS 5.0 be converted to pem format, ie, the cert and private key in text format (suitable for use with Apache). The Thawte site outlines a long, agonizing process of first converting to IIS 4.0 format and actually loading it into an IIS 4.0 server to accomplish the conversi
