.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_ssl_version()\fR sets a new default TLS/SSL \fBmethod\fR for SSL objects
newly created from this \fBctx\fR.  Most of the configuration attached to the
SSL_CTX object is retained, with the exception of the configured TLS ciphers,
which are reset to the default values.  SSL objects already created from this
SSL_CTX with \fBSSL_new\fR\|(3) are not affected, except when \fBSSL_clear\fR\|(3) is
being called, as described below.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_get_ssl_method()\fR returns the SSL_METHOD which was used to construct the
SSL_CTX.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_set_ssl_method()\fR sets a new TLS/SSL \fBmethod\fR for a particular \fBssl\fR
object. It may be reset, when \fBSSL_clear()\fR is called.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_get_ssl_method()\fR returns a pointer to the TLS/SSL method
set in \fBssl\fR.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
The available \fBmethod\fR choices are described in
\&\fBSSL_CTX_new\fR\|(3).
.PP
When \fBSSL_clear\fR\|(3) is called and no session is connected to
an SSL object, the method of the SSL object is reset to the method currently
set in the corresponding SSL_CTX object.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_version()\fR has unusual semantics and no clear use case;
it would usually be preferable to create a new SSL_CTX object than to
try to reuse an existing one in this fashion.  Its usage is considered
deprecated.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_set_ssl_method()\fR cannot be used to change a non-QUIC SSL object to a QUIC
SSL object or vice versa, or change a QUIC SSL object from one QUIC method to
another.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
The following return values can occur for \fBSSL_CTX_set_ssl_version()\fR
and \fBSSL_set_ssl_method()\fR:
.IP 0 4
The new choice failed, check the error stack to find out the reason.
.IP 1 4
.IX Item "1"
The operation succeeded.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_CTX_get_ssl_method()\fR and \fBSSL_get_ssl_method()\fR always return non-NULL
pointers.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
\&\fBSSL_CTX_new\fR\|(3), \fBSSL_new\fR\|(3),
\&\fBSSL_clear\fR\|(3), \fBssl\fR\|(7),

.SH HISTORY
.IX Header "HISTORY"
\&\fBSSL_CTX_set_ssl_version()\fR was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
