=head1 NAME

SSL_set_connect_state, SSL_get_accept_state - prepare SSL object to work in client or server mode

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/ssl.h>

 void SSL_set_connect_state(SSL *ssl);

 void SSL_set_accept_state(SSL *ssl);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

SSL_set_connect_state() B<ssl> to work in client mode.

SSL_set_accept_state() B<ssl> to work in server mode.

=head1 NOTES

When the SSL_CTX object was created with L<SSL_CTX_new(3)|SSL_CTX_new(3)>,
it was either assigned a dedicated client method, a dedicated server
method, or a generic method, that can be used for both client and
server connections. (The method might have been changed with
L<SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3)|SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3)> or
SSL_set_ssl_method().)

In order to successfully accomplish the handshake, the SSL routines need
to know whether they should act in server or client mode. If the generic
method was used, this is not clear from the method itself and must be set
with either SSL_set_connect_state() or SSL_set_accept_state(). If these
routines are not called, the default value set when L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)>
is called is server mode.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

SSL_set_connect_state() and SSL_set_accept_state() do not return diagnostic
information.
