|
||||
|
||||
SSL_CTX_set_async_callback() sets an asynchronous callback function. All SSL
|
||||
objects generated based on this SSL_CTX will get this callback. If an engine
|
||||
SSL_CTX_set_async_callback() sets an asynchronous callback function. All B<SSL>
|
||||
objects generated based on this B<SSL_CTX> will get this callback. If an engine
|
||||
supports the callback mechanism, it will be automatically called if
|
||||
SSL_MODE_ASYNC has been set and an asynchronous capable engine completes a
|
||||
B<SSL_MODE_ASYNC> has been set and an asynchronous capable engine completes a
|
||||
cryptography operation to notify the application to resume the paused work flow.
|
||||
|
||||
SSL_CTX_set_async_callback_arg() sets the callback argument.
|
||||
|
||||
SSL_set_async_callback() allows an application to set a callback in an
|
||||
asynchronous SSL object, so that when an engine completes a cryptography
|
||||
asynchronous B<SSL> object, so that when an engine completes a cryptography
|
||||
operation, the callback will be called to notify the application to resume the
|
||||
paused work flow.
|
||||
|
||||
SSL_set_async_callback_arg() sets an argument for the SSL object when the above
|
||||
callback is called.
|
||||
SSL_set_async_callback_arg() sets an argument for the B<SSL> object when the
|
||||
above callback is called.
|
||||
|
||||
SSL_get_async_status() returns the engine status. This function facilitates the
|
||||
communication from the engine to the application. During an SSL session,
|
||||
cryptographic operations are dispatched to an engine. The engine status is very
|
||||
useful for an application to know if the operation has been successfully
|
||||
dispatched. If the engine does not support this additional callback method,
|
||||
"ASYNC_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED" will be returned. See ASYNC_WAIT_CTX_set_status() for
|
||||
a description of all of the status values.
|
||||
B<ASYNC_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED> will be returned. See ASYNC_WAIT_CTX_set_status()
|
||||
for a description of all of the status values.
|
||||
|
||||
An example of the above functions would be the following.
|
||||
1. Application sets the async callback and callback data on an SSL connection
|
||||
An example of the above functions would be the following:
|
||||
|
||||
=over 4
|
||||
|
||||
=item 1.
|
||||
|
||||
Application sets the async callback and callback data on an SSL connection
|
||||
by calling SSL_set_async_callback().
|
||||
2. Application sets SSL_MODE_ASYNC and makes an asynchronous SSL call
|
||||
3. OpenSSL submits the asynchronous request to the engine. If a retry occurs at
|
||||
this point then the status within the ASYNC_WAIT_CTX would be set and the async
|
||||
callback function would be called (goto Step 7).
|
||||
4. The OpenSSL engine pauses the current job and returns, so that the
|
||||
|
||||
=item 2.
|
||||
|
||||
Application sets B<SSL_MODE_ASYNC> and makes an asynchronous SSL call
|
||||
|
||||
=item 3.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSSL submits the asynchronous request to the engine. If a retry occurs at
|
||||
this point then the status within the B<ASYNC_WAIT_CTX> would be set and the
|
||||
async callback function would be called (goto Step 7).
|
||||
|
||||
=item 4.
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenSSL engine pauses the current job and returns, so that the
|
||||
application can continue processing other connections.
|
||||
5. At a future point in time (probably via a polling mechanism or via an
|
||||
|
||||
=item 5.
|
||||
|
||||
At a future point in time (probably via a polling mechanism or via an
|
||||
interrupt) the engine will become aware that the asynchronous request has
|
||||
finished processing.
|
||||
6. The engine will call the application's callback passing the callback data as
|
||||
|
||||
=item 6.
|
||||
|
||||
The engine will call the application's callback passing the callback data as
|
||||
a parameter.
|
||||
7. The callback function should then run. Note: it is a requirement that the
|
||||
|
||||
=item 7.
|
||||
|
||||
The callback function should then run. Note: it is a requirement that the
|
||||
callback function is small and non-blocking as it will be run in the context of
|
||||
a polling mechanism or an interrupt.
|
||||
8. It is the application's responsibility via the callback function to schedule
|
||||
|
||||
=item 8.
|
||||
|
||||
It is the application's responsibility via the callback function to schedule
|
||||
recalling the OpenSSL asynchronous function and to continue processing.
|
||||
9. The callback function has the option to check the status returned via
|
||||
|
||||
=item 9.
|
||||
|
||||
The callback function has the option to check the status returned via
|
||||
SSL_get_async_status() to determine whether a retry happened instead of the
|
||||
request being submitted, allowing different processing if required.
