Hi Dhoti. Neither of those questions relate specifically to OpenSSL, since these are part of the fundamental networking behaviors.
1) Look at the system function setsockopt() for how to set the reuse-address behavior. You must call this function after creating the socket, but before calling bind(). 2) After a socket is connected, you can obtain the information about the peer by calling the system function getpeername(), specifying the socket as input. The sockaddr structure returned will contain the IP address of the connected peer. +-+-+-+-+-+-+ Dave McLellan, Symmetrix Software I18n/Security Programs EMC Corporation, 176 South St, Hopkinton MA Mail Stop 176-B1 1/P-36 office 508-249-1257, fax 508-497-8027 cell 978-500-2546 +-+-+-+-+-+-+ -----Original Message----- From: owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org [mailto:owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org] On Behalf Of Dhoti Walla Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2011 7:01 PM To: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: noob question on OpenSSL Hi, I've gotten OpenSSL to work for me using examples from the Network Security with OpenSSL book. I've got two questions that I know are very basic - Mr Google was not very helpful here 1) how do I set SO_REUSEADDR option on my OpenSSL server? 2) when a client connects to the my server, how can I get the IP address of the client? thanks for all help Dhoti ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
