This page lists all the SSL_OP flags available in OpenSSL. These values are passed to the SSL_CTX_set_options(), SSL_CTX_clear_options() functions and returned by the SSL_CTX_get_options() function (and corresponding SSL-equivalents).

Options with a value of 0 have no effect.

SSL_OP_ALL

In OpenSSL 1.1.1, the SSL_OP_ALL option changed value. This means that 1.1.0 and 1.1.1, although ABI compatible, have different values for default enabled options. The result of this is that several option bits marked by ** cannot be re-assigned until 3.0.0.

As of 1.1.0, these options are enabled by default via SSL_OP_ALL:

  • SSL_OP_CRYPTOPRO_TLSEXT_BUG
  • SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
  • SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT
  • SSL_OP_TLSEXT_PADDING
  • SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG)

Protocol Version Options

The following options control the protocols enabled on an SSL or SSL_CTX:

  • SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2
  • SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3
  • SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1
  • SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
  • SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2
  • SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_3
  • SSL_OP_NO_DTLSv1
  • SSL_OP_NO_DTLSv1_2

These options are deprecated as of 1.1.0, use SSL_CTX_set_min_proto_version() and SSL_CTX_set_max_proto_version() instead.

Historical Options and Notes

SSL_OP_SSLREF2_REUSE_CERT_TYPE_BUG

This option does nothing, but was retained for compatibility. In 1.0.1 this option had a value of 0x00000010, but that was taken over by SSL_OP_TLS_PADDING in 1.0.2; this option's value was changed to 0 in 1.0.2. It was included in SSL_OP_ALL. The defintion was removed from 1.1.0.

SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING

This option does nothing, but was retained for compatibility. In 1.0.1, this option had a value of 0x00000040; this option's value was changed to 0 in 1.0.2.

SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE

If set, always create a new key when using tmp_dh parameters. As of 1.0.2f single-DH key use is always on, and this option does nothing, and is retained for compatibility.

SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA

This option does nothing, but was retained for compatibility. In 1.0.1, this option had a value of 0x00200000; this option's value was changed to 0 in 1.0.2. This option always used the tmp_rsa key when doing RSA operations, even when this violated protocol specs.

SSL_OP_PRIORITIZE_CHACHA

This option has no effect if SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE is not enabled.

SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG

This option had a value of 0x00000400 in 0.9.6. If set, a server will allow a client to issue a SSLv3.0 version number as latest version supported in the premaster secret, even when TLSv1.0 (version 3.1) was announced in the client hello. Normally this is forbidden to prevent version rollback attacks.

Added in 0.9.6 and was automatically enabled via SSL_OP_ALL. In 0.9.7, it was removed from SSL_OP_ALL and must be explicitly set.

SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK_1

This option does nothing, but was retained for compatibility. Prior to 1.0.1, this option had a value of 0x08000000. The option would deliberately change the ciphertext, this is a check for the PKCS#1 attack.

SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK_2

This option does nothing, but was retained for compatibility. Prior to 1.0.1, this option had a value of 0x10000000. The option would deliberately change the ciphertext, this is a check for the PKCS#1 attack.

SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE

Added in 0.9.7.

SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION

Added in 0.9.7.

SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS

Added in 0.9.6e to disable the fragment insertion that was added in 0.9.6d (where it was always enabled). Versions up to 0.9.6c do not include the countermeasure.

SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION

Added in 0.9.8m.

SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT

Added in 0.9.8m.
