68.Sh DESCRIPTION
69These functions modify a configuration by setting parameters.
70The configuration options apply to both clients and servers, unless noted
71otherwise.
72.Pp
73.Fn tls_config_set_protocols
74specifies which versions of the TLS protocol may be used.
75Possible values are the bitwise OR of:
76.Pp
77.Bl -tag -width "TLS_PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2" -offset indent -compact
78.It Dv TLS_PROTOCOL_TLSv1_0
79.It Dv TLS_PROTOCOL_TLSv1_1
80.It Dv TLS_PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2
81.El
82.Pp
83Additionally, the values
84.Dv TLS_PROTOCOL_TLSv1
85(TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2),
86.Dv TLS_PROTOCOLS_ALL
87(all supported protocols) and
88.Dv TLS_PROTOCOLS_DEFAULT
89(TLSv1.2 only) may be used.
90.Pp
91The
92.Fn tls_config_parse_protocols
93utility function parses a protocol string and returns the corresponding
94value via the
95.Ar protocols
96argument.
97This value can then be passed to the
98.Fn tls_config_set_protocols
99function.
100The protocol string is a comma or colon separated list of keywords.
101Valid keywords are tlsv1.0, tlsv1.1, tlsv1.2, all (all supported protocols),
102default (an alias for secure), legacy (an alias for all) and secure (currently
103TLSv1.2 only).
104If a value has a negative prefix (in the form of a leading exclamation mark)
105then it is removed from the list of available protocols, rather than being
106added to it.
107.Pp
108.Fn tls_config_set_alpn
109sets the ALPN protocols that are supported.
110The alpn string is a comma separated list of protocols, in order of preference.
111.Pp
112.Fn tls_config_set_ciphers
113sets the list of ciphers that may be used.
114Lists of ciphers are specified by name, and the
115permitted names are:
116.Pp
117.Bl -tag -width "insecure" -offset indent -compact
118.It Dv "secure" (or alias "default")
119.It Dv "compat"
120.It Dv "legacy"
121.It Dv "insecure" (or alias "all")
122.El
123.Pp
124Alternatively, libssl cipher strings can be specified.
125See the CIPHERS section of
126.Xr openssl 1
127for further information.
128.Pp
129.Fn tls_config_set_dheparams
130specifies the parameters that will be used during Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral
131(DHE) key exchange.
132Possible values are "none", "auto" and "legacy".
133In "auto" mode, the key size for the ephemeral key is automatically selected
134based on the size of the private key being used for signing.
135In "legacy" mode, 1024 bit ephemeral keys are used.
136The default value is "none", which disables DHE key exchange.
137.Pp
138.Fn tls_config_set_ecdhecurves
139specifies the names of the elliptic curves that may be used during Elliptic
140Curve Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral (ECDHE) key exchange.
141This is a comma separated list, given in order of preference.
142The special value of "default" will use the default curves (currently X25519,
143P-256 and P-384).
144This function replaces
145.Fn tls_config_set_ecdhecurve ,
146which is deprecated.
147.Pp
148.Fn tls_config_prefer_ciphers_client
149prefers ciphers in the client's cipher list when selecting a cipher suite
150(server only).
151This is considered to be less secure than preferring the server's list.
152.Pp
153.Fn tls_config_prefer_ciphers_server
154prefers ciphers in the server's cipher list when selecting a cipher suite
155(server only).
156This is considered to be more secure than preferring the client's list and is
157the default.
158.Sh RETURN VALUES
159These functions return 0 on success or -1 on error.
