DESCRIPTION

       SSL_CTX_add_custom_ext() adds a custom extension for a TLS/DTLS client or server for all
       supported protocol versions with extension type ext_type and callbacks add_cb, free_cb and
       parse_cb (see the "EXTENSION CALLBACKS" section below). The context value determines which
       messages and under what conditions the extension will be added/parsed (see the "EXTENSION
       CONTEXTS" section below).

       SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext() adds a custom extension for a TLS/DTLS client with
       extension type ext_type and callbacks add_cb, free_cb and parse_cb. This function is
       similar to SSL_CTX_add_custom_ext() except it only applies to clients, uses the older
       style of callbacks, and implicitly sets the context value to:

        SSL_EXT_TLS1_2_AND_BELOW_ONLY | SSL_EXT_CLIENT_HELLO
        | SSL_EXT_TLS1_2_SERVER_HELLO | SSL_EXT_IGNORE_ON_RESUMPTION

       SSL_CTX_add_server_custom_ext() adds a custom extension for a TLS/DTLS server with
       extension type ext_type and callbacks add_cb, free_cb and parse_cb. This function is
       similar to SSL_CTX_add_custom_ext() except it only applies to servers, uses the older
       style of callbacks, and implicitly sets the context value to the same as for
       SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext() above.

       The ext_type parameter corresponds to the extension_type field of RFC5246 et al. It is not
       a NID. In all cases the extension type must not be handled by OpenSSL internally or an
       error occurs.

       SSL_extension_supported() returns 1 if the extension ext_type is handled internally by
       OpenSSL and 0 otherwise.

EXTENSION CALLBACKS

       The callback add_cb is called to send custom extension data to be included in various TLS
       messages. The ext_type parameter is set to the extension type which will be added and
       add_arg to the value set when the extension handler was added. When using the new style
       callbacks the context parameter will indicate which message is currently being constructed
       e.g. for the ClientHello it will be set to SSL_EXT_CLIENT_HELLO.

       If the application wishes to include the extension ext_type it should set *out to the
       extension data, set *outlen to the length of the extension data and return 1.

       If the add_cb does not wish to include the extension it must return 0.

       If add_cb returns -1 a fatal handshake error occurs using the TLS alert value specified in
       *al.

       When constructing the ClientHello, if add_cb is set to NULL a zero length extension is
       added for ext_type. For all other messages if add_cb is set to NULL then no extension is
       added.

       When constructing a Certificate message the callback will be called for each certificate
       in the message. The x parameter will indicate the current certificate and the chainidx
       parameter will indicate the position of the certificate in the message. The first
       certificate is always the end entity certificate and has a chainidx value of 0. The
       certificates are in the order that they were received in the Certificate message.

       For all messages except the ServerHello and EncryptedExtensions every registered add_cb is
       always called to see if the application wishes to add an extension (as long as all
       requirements of the specified context are met).

       For the ServerHello and EncryptedExtension messages every registered add_cb is called once
       if and only if the requirements of the specified context are met and the corresponding
       extension was received in the ClientHello. That is, if no corresponding extension was
       received in the ClientHello then add_cb will not be called.

       If an extension is added (that is add_cb returns 1) free_cb is called (if it is set) with
       the value of out set by the add callback. It can be used to free up any dynamic extension
       data set by add_cb. Since out is constant (to permit use of constant data in add_cb)
       applications may need to cast away const to free the data.

       The callback parse_cb receives data for TLS extensions. The callback is only called if the
       extension is present and relevant for the context (see "EXTENSION CONTEXTS" below).

       The extension data consists of inlen bytes in the buffer in for the extension ext_type.

       If the message being parsed is a TLSv1.3 compatible Certificate message then parse_cb will
       be called for each certificate contained within the message.  The x parameter will
       indicate the current certificate and the chainidx parameter will indicate the position of
       the certificate in the message. The first certificate is always the end entity certificate
       and has a chainidx value of 0.

       If the parse_cb considers the extension data acceptable it must return 1. If it returns 0
       or a negative value a fatal handshake error occurs using the TLS alert value specified in
       *al.

       The buffer in is a temporary internal buffer which will not be valid after the callback
       returns.

EXTENSION CONTEXTS

       An extension context defines which messages and under which conditions an extension should
       be added or expected. The context is built up by performing a bitwise OR of multiple pre-
       defined values together. The valid context values are:

       SSL_EXT_TLS_ONLY
           The extension is only allowed in TLS

       SSL_EXT_DTLS_ONLY
           The extension is only allowed in DTLS

       SSL_EXT_TLS_IMPLEMENTATION_ONLY
           The extension is allowed in DTLS, but there is only a TLS implementation available (so
           it is ignored in DTLS).

       SSL_EXT_SSL3_ALLOWED
           Extensions are not typically defined for SSLv3. Setting this value will allow the
           extension in SSLv3. Applications will not typically need to use this.

       SSL_EXT_TLS1_2_AND_BELOW_ONLY
           The extension is only defined for TLSv1.2/DTLSv1.2 and below. Servers will ignore this
           extension if it is present in the ClientHello and TLSv1.3 is negotiated.

       SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_ONLY
           The extension is only defined for TLS1.3 and above. Servers will ignore this extension
           if it is present in the ClientHello and TLSv1.2 or below is negotiated.

       SSL_EXT_IGNORE_ON_RESUMPTION
           The extension will be ignored during parsing if a previous session is being
           successfully resumed.

       SSL_EXT_CLIENT_HELLO
           The extension may be present in the ClientHello message.

       SSL_EXT_TLS1_2_SERVER_HELLO
           The extension may be present in a TLSv1.2 or below compatible ServerHello message.

       SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_SERVER_HELLO
           The extension may be present in a TLSv1.3 compatible ServerHello message.

       SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_ENCRYPTED_EXTENSIONS
           The extension may be present in an EncryptedExtensions message.

       SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_HELLO_RETRY_REQUEST
           The extension may be present in a HelloRetryRequest message.

       SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_CERTIFICATE
           The extension may be present in a TLSv1.3 compatible Certificate message.

       SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_NEW_SESSION_TICKET
           The extension may be present in a TLSv1.3 compatible NewSessionTicket message.

       SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_CERTIFICATE_REQUEST
           The extension may be present in a TLSv1.3 compatible CertificateRequest message.

       The context must include at least one message value (otherwise the extension will never be
       used).

NOTES

       The add_arg and parse_arg parameters can be set to arbitrary values which will be passed
       to the corresponding callbacks. They can, for example, be used to store the extension data
       received in a convenient structure or pass the extension data to be added or freed when
       adding extensions.

       If the same custom extension type is received multiple times a fatal decode_error alert is
       sent and the handshake aborts. If a custom extension is received in a
       ServerHello/EncryptedExtensions message which was not sent in the ClientHello a fatal
       unsupported_extension alert is sent and the handshake is aborted. The
       ServerHello/EncryptedExtensions add_cb callback is only called if the corresponding
       extension was received in the ClientHello. This is compliant with the TLS specifications.
       This behaviour ensures that each callback is called at most once and that an application
       can never send unsolicited extensions.

RETURN VALUES

       SSL_CTX_add_custom_ext(), SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext() and
       SSL_CTX_add_server_custom_ext() return 1 for success and 0 for failure. A failure can
       occur if an attempt is made to add the same ext_type more than once, if an attempt is made
       to use an extension type handled internally by OpenSSL or if an internal error occurs (for
       example a memory allocation failure).

       SSL_extension_supported() returns 1 if the extension ext_type is handled internally by
       OpenSSL and 0 otherwise.
