gnutls_session_get_id2(3)           gnutls           gnutls_session_get_id2(3)


NAME

       gnutls_session_get_id2 - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_session_get_id2(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_datum_t *
       session_id);


ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       gnutls_datum_t * session_id
                   will point to the session ID.


DESCRIPTION

       Returns the TLS session identifier. The session ID is selected by the
       server, and in older versions of TLS was a unique identifier shared
       between client and server which was persistent across resumption.  In
       the latest version of TLS (1.3) or TLS 1.2 with session tickets, the
       notion of session identifiers is undefined and cannot be relied for
       uniquely identifying sessions across client and server.

       In client side this function returns the identifier returned by the
       server, and cannot be assumed to have any relation to session
       resumption.  In server side this function is guaranteed to return a
       persistent identifier of the session since GnuTLS 3.6.4, which may not
       necessarily map into the TLS session ID value. Prior to that version
       the value could only be considered a persistent identifier, under
       TLS1.2 or earlier and when no session tickets were in use.

       The session identifier value returned is always less than
       GNUTLS_MAX_SESSION_ID_SIZE and should be treated as constant.


RETURNS

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code
       is returned.


SINCE

       3.1.4
