Query related to session resumption in TLS1.3

Hi Viktor,Thanks for your response. In my code, somehow, the ssl_read was not getting called ( due to some bug) due to which the session ticket was not being read resulting in no callback. I have fixed it and its working now.Now the resumption using TLS1.3 is working fine but I want to clarify the following behavior:As per openssl documentation:'The default number of tickets is 2; the default number of tickets sent following a resumption handshake is 1'. (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets.html)But in my case, following the resumption handshake, I am always getting two session tickets from the server. Is this behavior fine as it is server dependent.
Regards,Shalini Dhamija'

This is not expected, perhaps your code is not quite right.

Yes. It works, for example, in Postfix:
https://github.com/vdukhovni/postfix/blob/master/postfix/src/tls/tls_client.c#L543-L547
https://github.com/vdukhovni/postfix/blob/master/postfix/src/tls/tls_client.c#L1001-L1004
https://github.com/vdukhovni/postfix/blob/master/postfix/src/tls/tls_client.c#L1146

This is misleading. In TLS 1.3, the PSKs and session tickets have
been internally unified into a single protocol mechanism. This
internal detail is not something that users need to worry about.

This is not the right question. SSL_set_session() is all you need
for session resumption.
