+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"

+new session ids for SSL/TLS sessions for \fBctx\fR to be \fBcb\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_set_generate_session_id()\fR sets the callback function for generating
+new session ids for SSL/TLS sessions for \fBssl\fR to be \fBcb\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR checks, whether a session with id \fBid\fR
+(of length \fBid_len\fR) is already contained in the internal session cache
+of the parent context of \fBssl\fR.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+When a new session is established between client and server, the server
+generates a session id. The session id is an arbitrary sequence of bytes.
+The length of the session id is between 1 and 32 bytes. The session id is not
+security critical but must be unique for the server. Additionally, the session id is
+transmitted in the clear when reusing the session so it must not contain
+sensitive information.
+.PP
+Without a callback being set, an OpenSSL server will generate a unique
+session id from pseudo random numbers of the maximum possible length.
+Using the callback function, the session id can be changed to contain
+additional information like e.g. a host id in order to improve load balancing
+or external caching techniques.
+.PP
+The callback function receives a pointer to the memory location to put
+\&\fBid\fR into and a pointer to the maximum allowed length \fBid_len\fR. The
+buffer at location \fBid\fR is only guaranteed to have the size \fBid_len\fR.
+The callback is only allowed to generate a shorter id and reduce \fBid_len\fR;
+the callback \fBmust never\fR increase \fBid_len\fR or write to the location
+\&\fBid\fR exceeding the given limit.
+.PP
+The location \fBid\fR is filled with 0x00 before the callback is called, so the
+callback may only fill part of the possible length and leave \fBid_len\fR
+untouched while maintaining reproducibility.
+.PP
+Since the sessions must be distinguished, session ids must be unique.
+Without the callback a random number is used, so that the probability
+of generating the same session id is extremely small (2^256 for SSLv3/TLSv1).
+In order to assure the uniqueness of the generated session id, the callback must call
+\&\fBSSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR and generate another id if a conflict occurs.
+If an id conflict is not resolved, the handshake will fail.
+If the application codes e.g. a unique host id, a unique process number, and
+a unique sequence number into the session id, uniqueness could easily be
+achieved without randomness added (it should however be taken care that
+no confidential information is leaked this way). If the application can not
+guarantee uniqueness, it is recommended to use the maximum \fBid_len\fR and
+fill in the bytes not used to code special information with random data
+to avoid collisions.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR will only query the internal session cache,
+not the external one. Since the session id is generated before the
+handshake is completed, it is not immediately added to the cache. If
+another thread is using the same internal session cache, a race condition
+can occur in that another thread generates the same session id.
+Collisions can also occur when using an external session cache, since
+the external cache is not tested with \fBSSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR
+and the same race condition applies.
+.PP
+The callback must return 0 if it cannot generate a session id for whatever
+reason and return 1 on success.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_generate_session_id()\fR and \fBSSL_set_generate_session_id()\fR
+return 1 on success and 0 for failure.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_has_matching_session_id()\fR returns 1 if another session with the
+same id is already in the cache, or 0 otherwise.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
+The callback function listed will generate a session id with the
+server id given, and will fill the rest with pseudo random bytes:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& const char session_id_prefix = "www\-18";
+\&
+\& #define MAX_SESSION_ID_ATTEMPTS 10
+\& static int generate_session_id(SSL *ssl, unsigned char *id,
+\& unsigned int *id_len)
+\& {
+\& unsigned int count = 0;
+\&
+\& do {
+\& RAND_pseudo_bytes(id, *id_len);
+\& /*
+\& * Prefix the session_id with the required prefix. NB: If our
+\& * prefix is too long, clip it \- but there will be worse effects
+\& * anyway, e.g. the server could only possibly create 1 session
+\& * ID (i.e. the prefix!) so all future session negotiations will
+\& * fail due to conflicts.
+\& */
+\& memcpy(id, session_id_prefix, strlen(session_id_prefix) < *id_len ?
+\& strlen(session_id_prefix) : *id_len);
+\& } while (SSL_has_matching_session_id(ssl, id, *id_len)
+\& && ++count < MAX_SESSION_ID_ATTEMPTS);
+\& if (count >= MAX_SESSION_ID_ATTEMPTS)
+\& return 0;
