How does openssl decide which SHA function to use if we simply uses

Is there a way users can select it?

The "crypto suite" used by SSL is negotiated between the parties, I think. See below for list of available options.

The job of "deciding which" is almost always decided by the server, since it tends to have the important information it's trying to protect. But, maybethat isn't what you asked.
