# NAME

SSL_SESSION_get0_cipher, SSL_SESSION_set_cipher - set and retrieve the SSL cipher associated with a session

# SYNOPSIS

     #include <openssl/ssl.h>

     const SSL_CIPHER *SSL_SESSION_get0_cipher(const SSL_SESSION *s);
     int SSL_SESSION_set_cipher(SSL_SESSION *s, const SSL_CIPHER *cipher);

# DESCRIPTION

SSL_SESSION_get0_cipher() retrieves the cipher that was used by the connection when the session was created, or NULL if it cannot be determined.

The value returned is a pointer to an object maintained within s and should not be released.

`SSL_SESSION_set_cipher()` can be used to set the ciphersuite associated with the SSL_SESSION s to cipher. For example, this could be used to set up a session based PSK (see SSL_CTX_set_psk_use_session_callback(3)).

# RETURN VALUES

SSL_SESSION_get0_cipher() returns the SSL_CIPHER associated with the SSL_SESSION or NULL if it cannot be determined.

`SSL_SESSION_set_cipher()` returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
