Riaz,
Thanks for the help,
I am able to dump the packets using ssldump.
Some of my queries are still unanswered.
I am again pasting it here.
>> [#]. If they are able to communicate in a secured session,
>> then how come they completed SSL handshake without random number
source(I think it is required at time of Handshake)?
the default random file is in /dev/urandom in linux .. check the
environvent variable rand and see where its pointing to.
>>
>> [#]. How can I authenticate Clients (any sample code will help me a
lot) or what is function used for asking Client's certificate ?
There is an option in SSL that can be set either in the SSL_CTX or
in the SSLOBJECT depending on whether you need to enforce "client auth"
always or based on certain requirement. If set in CTX it is
always enforced.
SSL_CTX_set_verify(pSSLCtx, SSL_VERIFY_PEER,
client_cert_verify_callback);
SSL_set_verify(pSSLCtx,SSL_VERIFY_PEER|SSL_VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE,
client_cert_verify_callback);
this callback function will be executed when the client cert is sent to
the server, once this option is set, SSL_accept will automatically prompt
for a client cert.
>>
>> [#]. Is the loading CAs list, required at the server/client (as here I

using this in local network?
This is not mandatory, depends on what ctx/sslobj options you have set.
you can use openssl tools to generate the same.

There is an option in SSL that can be set either in the SSL_CTX or
in the SSLOBJECT depending on whether you need to enforce "client auth"
always or based on certain requirement. If set in CTX it is
always enforced.
SSL_CTX_set_verify(pSSLCtx, SSL_VERIFY_PEER,
client_cert_verify_callback);
SSL_set_verify(pSSLCtx,SSL_VERIFY_PEER|SSL_VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE,
client_cert_verify_callback);
this callback function will be executed when the client cert is sent to
the server, once this option is set, SSL_accept will automatically prompt
for a client cert.

This is not mandatory, depends on what ctx/sslobj options you have set.
