Okay so I have been trying to store session details in a file, haven't used
BIO for now, but I guess my present method should work fine.
This is on the server side -
FILE * filePtr;
char fileString[128];
sprintf(fileString, "/home/session_id");
if ((filePtr = fopen(fileString, "r")) != NULL)
{
session = PEM_read_SSL_SESSION(filePtr, NULL, NULL, NULL);
int added =0;
added = SSL_CTX_add_session(ctx, session);
printf("\n::: %d :::\n", added); /* it is returning 1 always
which means that it succeeds */
fclose(filePtr);
}
ssl = SSL_new(ctx);
SSL_set_fd(ssl, clntfd);
SSL_accept(ssl);
session = SSL_get1_session(ssl);
FILE* filePtr2;
char fileString2[128];
sprintf(fileString2, "/home/session_id");
if ((filePtr2 = fopen(fileString2, "r+")) != NULL)
{
// write the data to the file
PEM_write_SSL_SESSION(filePtr2, session);
// close the file
fclose(filePtr2);
}
Everytime a new session is negotiated, the session_id file gets updated
with the new session details. I am able to write and read from a file.
This means that the session should always be re-used, even if the session
gets timed-out from the internal cache, it will get loaded from the
external file, and the session must always be reused. BUT THIS IS NOT
HAPPENING FOR NOW.
Any problem in the code!? Please let me know
