=head1 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 B<ext_type> and
callbacks B<add_cb>, B<free_cb> and B<parse_cb> (see the
L</EXTENSION CALLBACKS> section below). The B<context> value determines
which messages and under what conditions the extension will be added/parsed (see
the L</EXTENSION CONTEXTS> section below).

SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext() adds a custom extension for a TLS/DTLS client
with extension type B<ext_type> and callbacks B<add_cb>, B<free_cb> and
B<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
B<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 B<ext_type> and callbacks B<add_cb>, B<free_cb> and
B<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 B<context> value to the same as for SSL_CTX_add_client_custom_ext() above.

The B<ext_type> parameter corresponds to the B<extension_type> field of
RFC5246 et al. It is B<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 B<ext_type> is handled
internally by OpenSSL and 0 otherwise.

=head1 EXTENSION CALLBACKS

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

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

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

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

When constructing the ClientHello, if B<add_cb> is set to NULL a zero length
extension is added for B<ext_type>. For all other messages if B<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 B<x> parameter will indicate the
current certificate and the B<chainidx> parameter will indicate the position
of the certificate in the message. The first certificate is always the end
entity certificate and has a B<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 B<add_cb> is always called to see if the application wishes to add an
extension (as long as all requirements of the specified B<context> are met).

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

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

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

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

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

If the B<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 B<*al>.

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

=head1 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:

=over 4

=item SSL_EXT_TLS_ONLY

The extension is only allowed in TLS

=item SSL_EXT_DTLS_ONLY

The extension is only allowed in DTLS

=item 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).

=item 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.

=item 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.

=item 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.

=item SSL_EXT_IGNORE_ON_RESUMPTION

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

=item SSL_EXT_CLIENT_HELLO

The extension may be present in the ClientHello message.

=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_2_SERVER_HELLO

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

=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_SERVER_HELLO

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

=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_ENCRYPTED_EXTENSIONS

The extension may be present in an EncryptedExtensions message.

=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_HELLO_RETRY_REQUEST

The extension may be present in a HelloRetryRequest message.

=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_CERTIFICATE

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

=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_NEW_SESSION_TICKET

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

=item SSL_EXT_TLS1_3_CERTIFICATE_REQUEST

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

=back

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

=head1 NOTES

The B<add_arg> and B<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
B<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 B<unsupported_extension> alert is sent and the
handshake is aborted. The ServerHello/EncryptedExtensions B<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.

=head1 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 B<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 B<ext_type> is handled
internally by OpenSSL and 0 otherwise.

=head1 HISTORY

The SSL_CTX_add_custom_ext() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
