# NAME

SSL_CONF_CTX_set_flags, SSL_CONF_CTX_clear_flags - Set of clear SSL configuration context flags

# SYNOPSIS

     #include <openssl/ssl.h>

     unsigned int SSL_CONF_CTX_set_flags(SSL_CONF_CTX *cctx, unsigned int flags);
     unsigned int SSL_CONF_CTX_clear_flags(SSL_CONF_CTX *cctx, unsigned int flags);

# DESCRIPTION

The function `SSL_CONF_CTX_set_flags()` sets flags in the context cctx.

The function `SSL_CONF_CTX_clear_flags()` clears flags in the context cctx.

# NOTES

The flags set affect how subsequent calls to `SSL_CONF_cmd()` or `SSL_CONF_argv()` behave.

Currently the following flags values are recognised:

SSL_CONF_FLAG_CMDLINE, SSL_CONF_FLAG_FILE

  recognise options intended for command line or configuration file use. At least one of these flags must be set.

SSL_CONF_FLAG_CLIENT, SSL_CONF_FLAG_SERVER

  recognise options intended for use in SSL/TLS clients or servers. One or both of these flags must be set.

SSL_CONF_FLAG_CERTIFICATE

  recognise certificate and private key options.

SSL_CONF_FLAG_SHOW_ERRORS

  indicate errors relating to unrecognised options or missing arguments in the error queue. If this option isn't set such errors are only reflected in the return values of `SSL_CONF_set_cmd()` or `SSL_CONF_set_argv()`

# RETURN VALUES

`SSL_CONF_CTX_set_flags()` and `SSL_CONF_CTX_clear_flags()` returns the new flags value after setting or clearing flags.

# SEE ALSO

SSL_CONF_CTX_new, SSL_CONF_CTX_set_ssl_ctx, SSL_CONF_CTX_set1_prefix, SSL_CONF_cmd, SSL_CONF_cmd_argv

# HISTORY

These functions were first added to OpenSSL 1.0.2
