Detailed Description

Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific data attached to them. These functions are used internally by OpenSSL to manipulate application specific data attached to a specific structure.

SSL_SESSION_get_ex_new_index() is used to register a new index for application specific data.

SSL_SESSION_set_ex_data() is used to store application data at arg for idx into the session object.

SSL_SESSION_get_ex_data() is used to retrieve the information for idx from session.

A detailed description for the *_get_ex_new_index() functionality can be found in RSA_get_ex_new_index(). The *_get_ex_data() and *_set_ex_data() functionality is described in CRYPTO_set_ex_data().

Warnings

The application data is only maintained for sessions held in memory. The application data is not included when dumping the session with i2d_SSL_SESSION() (and all functions indirectly calling the dump functions like PEM_write_SSL_SESSION() and PEM_write_bio_SSL_SESSION()) and can therefore not be restored.
