The \fBprotos\fR must be in protocol-list format, described below. The length of \fBprotos\fR is specified in \&\fBprotos_len\fR. Setting \fBprotos_len\fR to 0 clears any existing list of ALPN protocols and no ALPN extension will be sent to the server. .PP \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_alpn_select_cb()\fR sets the application callback \fBcb\fR used by a server to select which protocol to use for the incoming connection. When \fBcb\fR is NULL, ALPN is not used. The \fBarg\fR value is a pointer which is passed to the application callback. .PP \&\fBcb\fR is the application defined callback. The \fBin\fR, \fBinlen\fR parameters are a vector in protocol-list format. The value of the \fBout\fR, \fBoutlen\fR vector should be set to the value of a single protocol selected from the \fBin\fR, \&\fBinlen\fR vector. The \fBout\fR buffer may point directly into \fBin\fR, or to a buffer that outlives the handshake. The \fBarg\fR parameter is the pointer set via \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_alpn_select_cb()\fR. .PP \&\fBSSL_select_next_proto()\fR is a helper function used to select protocols. It implements the standard protocol selection. It is expected that this function is called from the application callback \fBcb\fR. The protocol data in \fBserver\fR, \&\fBserver_len\fR and \fBclient\fR, \fBclient_len\fR must be in the protocol-list format described below. The first item in the \fBserver\fR, \fBserver_len\fR list that matches an item in the \fBclient\fR, \fBclient_len\fR list is selected, and returned in \fBout\fR, \fBoutlen\fR. The \fBout\fR value will point into either \fBserver\fR or \&\fBclient\fR, so it should be copied immediately. The client list must include at least one valid (nonempty) protocol entry in the list. .PP The \fBSSL_select_next_proto()\fR helper function can be useful from either the ALPN callback or the NPN callback (described below). If no match is found, the first item in \fBclient\fR, \fBclient_len\fR is returned in \fBout\fR, \fBoutlen\fR and \&\fBOPENSSL_NPN_NO_OVERLAP\fR is returned. This can be useful when implementing the NPN callback. In the ALPN case, the value returned in \fBout\fR and \fBoutlen\fR must be ignored if \fBOPENSSL_NPN_NO_OVERLAP\fR has been returned from \&\fBSSL_select_next_proto()\fR. .PP \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb()\fR sets a callback \fBcb\fR that is called when a client needs to select a protocol from the server's provided list, and a user-defined pointer argument \fBarg\fR which will be passed to this callback. For the callback itself, \fBout\fR must be set to point to the selected protocol (which may be within \fBin\fR). The length of the protocol name must be written into \fBoutlen\fR. The server's advertised protocols are provided in \fBin\fR and \fBinlen\fR. The callback can assume that \fBin\fR is syntactically valid. The client must select a protocol (although it may be an empty, zero length protocol). It is fatal to the connection if this callback returns a value other than \&\fBSSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK\fR or if the zero length protocol is selected. The \fBarg\fR parameter is the pointer set via \fBSSL_CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb()\fR. .PP \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_next_protos_advertised_cb()\fR sets a callback \fBcb\fR that is called when a TLS server needs a list of supported protocols for Next Protocol Negotiation. The returned list must be in protocol-list format, described below. The list is returned by setting \fBout\fR to point to it and \fBoutlen\fR to its length. This memory will not be modified, but the \fBSSL\fR does keep a reference to it. The callback should return \fBSSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK\fR if it wishes to advertise. Otherwise, no such extension will be included in the ServerHello. .PP \&\fBSSL_get0_alpn_selected()\fR returns a pointer to the selected protocol in \fBdata\fR with length \fBlen\fR. It is not NUL-terminated. \fBdata\fR is set to NULL and \fBlen\fR is set to 0 if no protocol has been selected. \fBdata\fR must not be freed. .PP \&\fBSSL_get0_next_proto_negotiated()\fR sets \fBdata\fR and \fBlen\fR to point to the client's requested protocol for this connection. If the client did not request any protocol or NPN is not enabled, then \fBdata\fR is set to NULL and \&\fBlen\fR to 0. Note that the client can request any protocol it chooses. The value returned from this function need not be a member of the list of supported protocols provided by the callback. .PP NPN functionality cannot be used with QUIC SSL objects. Use of ALPN is mandatory when using QUIC SSL objects. \fBSSL_CTX_set_next_protos_advertised_cb()\fR and \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb()\fR have no effect if called on a QUIC SSL context. .SH NOTES .IX Header "NOTES" The protocol-lists must be in wire-format, which is defined as a vector of nonempty, 8\-bit length-prefixed, byte strings. The length-prefix byte is not included in the length. Each string is limited to 255 bytes. A byte-string length of 0 is invalid. A truncated byte-string is invalid. The length of the vector is not in the vector itself, but in a separate variable. .PP Example: .PP .Vb 5 \& unsigned char vector[] = { \& 6, \*(Aqs\*(Aq, \*(Aqp\*(Aq, \*(Aqd\*(Aq, \*(Aqy\*(Aq, \*(Aq/\*(Aq, \*(Aq1\*(Aq, \& 8, \*(Aqh\*(Aq, \*(Aqt\*(Aq, \*(Aqt\*(Aq, \*(Aqp\*(Aq, \*(Aq/\*(Aq, \*(Aq1\*(Aq, \*(Aq.\*(Aq, \*(Aq1\*(Aq \& }; \& unsigned int length = sizeof(vector); .Ve .PP The ALPN callback is executed after the servername callback; as that servername callback may update the SSL_CTX, and subsequently, the ALPN callback. .PP If there is no ALPN proposed in the ClientHello, the ALPN callback is not invoked. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_alpn_protos()\fR and \fBSSL_set_alpn_protos()\fR return 0 on success, and non\-0 on failure. WARNING: these functions reverse the return value convention. .PP \&\fBSSL_select_next_proto()\fR returns one of the following: .IP OPENSSL_NPN_NEGOTIATED 4 .IX Item "OPENSSL_NPN_NEGOTIATED" A match was found and is returned in \fBout\fR, \fBoutlen\fR. .IP OPENSSL_NPN_NO_OVERLAP 4 .IX Item "OPENSSL_NPN_NO_OVERLAP" No match was found. The first item in \fBclient\fR, \fBclient_len\fR is returned in \&\fBout\fR, \fBoutlen\fR (or \fBNULL\fR and 0 in the case where the first entry in \&\fBclient\fR is invalid). .PP The ALPN select callback \fBcb\fR, must return one of the following: .IP SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK 4 .IX Item "SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK" ALPN protocol selected. .IP SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL 4 .IX Item "SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_ALERT_FATAL" There was no overlap between the client's supplied list and the server configuration. .IP SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK 4 .IX Item "SSL_TLSEXT_ERR_NOACK" ALPN protocol not selected, e.g., because no ALPN protocols are configured for this connection. .PP The callback set using \fBSSL_CTX_set_next_proto_select_cb()\fR should return \&\fBSSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK\fR if successful. Any other value is fatal to the connection. .PP The callback set using \fBSSL_CTX_set_next_protos_advertised_cb()\fR should return \&\fBSSL_TLSEXT_ERR_OK\fR if it wishes to advertise. Otherwise, no such extension will be included in the ServerHello. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBssl\fR\|(7), \fBSSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback\fR\|(3), \&\fBSSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg\fR\|(3) .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2016\-2024 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
