When the SSL_CTX object was created with <A HREF="../ssl/SSL_CTX_new.html#">SSL_CTX_new(3)</A>, it was either assigned a dedicated client method, a dedicated server
method, or a generic method, that can be used for both client and server
connections. (The method might have been changed with
<A HREF="../ssl/SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version.html#">SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version(3)</A> or <CODE>SSL_set_ssl_method().)</CODE>

</P>
<P>
When beginning a new handshake, the SSL engine must know whether it must
call the connect (client) or accept (server) routines. Even though it may
be clear from the method chosen, whether client or server mode was
requested, the handshake routines must be explicitly set.

</P>
<P>
When using the <A HREF="../ssl/SSL_connect.html#">SSL_connect(3)</A> or
<A HREF="../ssl/SSL_accept.html#">SSL_accept(3)</A> routines, the correct handshake routines are automatically set. When
performing a transparent negotiation using <A HREF="../ssl/SSL_write.html#">SSL_write(3)</A> or <A HREF="../ssl/SSL_read.html#">SSL_read(3)</A>, the handshake routines must be explicitly set in advance using either
<CODE>SSL_set_connect_state()</CODE> or
<CODE>SSL_set_accept_state().</CODE>
