NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_get_default_timeout  -  Get  default  session  timeout
       value

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <openssl/ssl.h>

       long SSL_get_default_timeout(
               SSL *ssl );

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The SSL_get_default_timeout() function returns the default
       timeout  value  assigned to SSL_SESSION objects negotiated
       for the protocol valid for ssl.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Whenever a new session is negotiated,  it  is  assigned  a
       timeout  value,  after  which  it will not be accepted for
       session reuse. If the timeout value was not explicitly set
       using SSL_CTX_set_timeout(), the hardcoded default timeout
       for the protocol will be used.

       The SSL_get_default_timeout() function returns this  hardcoded
  value,  which is 300 seconds for all currently supported
 protocols (SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLSv1).
