=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_new_ex() creates a new B<SSL_CTX> object as a framework to
establish TLS/SSL or DTLS enabled connections using the library context
I<libctx> (see L<OSSL_LIB_CTX(3)>). Any cryptographic algorithms that are used
by any B<SSL> objects created from this B<SSL_CTX> will be fetched from the
I<libctx> using the property query string I<propq> (see
SSL_CTX_new_ex() creates a new B<SSL_CTX> object, which holds various
configuration and data relevant to TLS/SSL or DTLS session establishment. The
library context I<libctx> (see L<OSSL_LIB_CTX(3)>) is used to provide the
cryptographic algorithms needed for the session. Any cryptographic algorithms
that are used by any B<SSL> objects created from this B<SSL_CTX> will be fetched
from the I<libctx> using the property query string I<propq> (see
L<provider(7)/Fetching algorithms>. Either or both the I<libctx> or I<propq>
parameters may be NULL.
@ -90,6 +91,10 @@ SSL_CTX_free) decrements it. When the reference count drops to zero, any memory
or resources allocated to the B<SSL_CTX> object are freed. SSL_CTX_up_ref()
increments the reference count for an existing B<SSL_CTX> structure.
An B<SSL_CTX> object should not be changed after it is used to create any B<SSL>
objects or from multiple threads concurrently, since the implementation does not
provide serialization of access for these cases.
=head1 NOTES
The SSL_CTX object uses I<method> as the connection method.
