It is not that sort of change "change", there's a call to insert a an additional CTX that interposes between the SSL handle and its parent context for most of the relevant data and function pointers. The SSL handle is still ultimately tied to the same parent context. > > In Postfix, it is configured with the same settings as the initial > > SSL_CTX, *but* no server certificates.
