The reference count for session .Fa c is incremented by 1. If a session with the same session id already exists, the old session is removed by calling .Xr SSL_SESSION_free 3 . .Pp .Fn SSL_CTX_remove_session removes the session .Fa c from the context .Fa ctx . .Xr SSL_SESSION_free 3 is called once for .Fa c . .Pp .Fn SSL_add_session and .Fn SSL_remove_session are synonyms for their .Fn SSL_CTX_* counterparts. .Sh NOTES When adding a new session to the internal session cache, it is examined whether a session with the same session id already exists. In this case it is assumed that both sessions are identical. If the same session is stored in a different .Vt SSL_SESSION object, the old session is removed and replaced by the new session. If the session is actually identical (the .Vt SSL_SESSION object is identical), .Fn SSL_CTX_add_session is a no-op, and the return value is 0. .Pp If a server .Vt SSL_CTX is configured with the .Dv SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag then the internal cache will not be populated automatically by new sessions negotiated by the SSL/TLS implementation, even though the internal cache will be searched automatically for session-resume requests (the latter can be suppressed by .Dv SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP ) . So the application can use .Fn SSL_CTX_add_session directly to have full control over the sessions that can be resumed if desired. .Sh RETURN VALUES The following values are returned by all functions: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It 0 The operation failed. In case of the add operation, it was tried to add the same (identical) session twice. In case of the remove operation, the session was not found in the cache. .It 1 The operation succeeded. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ssl 3 , .Xr SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode 3 , .Xr SSL_SESSION_free 3
