Which connections succeed will vary depending on the version of
OpenSSL. For instance, in some older versions of OpenSSL (such
as 0.9.7l on OS X 10.4), an SSLv2 client could not connect to an
SSLv23 server. Another example: beginning with OpenSSL 1.0.0,
an SSLv23 client will not actually attempt SSLv2 connections
unless you explicitly enable SSLv2 ciphers; for example, you
might specify ``"ALL"`` or ``"SSLv2"`` as the *ciphers* parameter
to enable them.

This example connects to an SSL server and prints the server's certificate::

# require a certificate from the server
ssl_sock = ssl.wrap_socket(s,

This example creates a SSL context with the recommended security settings
for client sockets, including automatic certificate verification::
>>> context = ssl.create_default_context()
This other example first creates an SSL context, instructs it to verify
certificates sent by peers, and feeds it a set of recognized certificate
authorities (CA)::
If you prefer to tune security settings yourself, you might create
a context from scratch (but beware that you might not get the settings
right)::
>>> context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23)
>>> context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_REQUIRED
>>> context.check_hostname = True
>>> context.load_verify_locations("/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
(it is assumed your operating system places a bundle of all CA certificates
in ``/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt``; if not, you'll get an error and have
to adjust the location)
(this snippet assumes your operating system places a bundle of all CA
certificates in ``/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt``; if not, you'll get an
error and have to adjust the location)
When you use the context to connect to a server, :const:`CERT_REQUIRED`
validates the server certificate: it ensures that the server certificate
was signed with one of the CA certificates, and checks the signature for
correctness::
>>> conn = context.wrap_socket(socket.socket(socket.AF_INET))
>>> conn.connect(("linuxfr.org", 443))
>>> conn = context.wrap_socket(socket.socket(socket.AF_INET),
... server_hostname="www.python.org")
>>> conn.connect(("www.python.org", 443))
You should then fetch the certificate and check its fields for conformity::
You may then fetch the certificate::
>>> cert = conn.getpeercert()
>>> ssl.match_hostname(cert, "linuxfr.org")
Visual inspection shows that the certificate does identify the desired service
(that is, the HTTPS host ``linuxfr.org``)::
(that is, the HTTPS host ``www.python.org``)::
