Tell more about that. FireFox has its own PKCS#11 module, softoken, part of the NSS package. Each PKCS#11 module has its own key storage (or no key storage). In general, one module does not know about another module's key stores. Sun has numerous PKCS#11 modules, including one named "Meta slot" that attempts to amalgamate other PKCS#11 modules, making them appear to be different slots under that single common module. It requires non-trivial configuration to work with other modules. It is possible to make FireFox use several of Sun's PKCS#11 modules through this Meta Slot. It is possible to configure Sun's meta-slot to use NSS's PKCS#11 module. But in "normal" (out of the box) configuration, unless you specifically alter their configurations, FireFox will use only NSS's softoken module and Solaris's meta-slot will use only other solaris PKCS#11 modules. Based on your limited description of your software, I'd guess that you have your own software (in unknown language) that is not running as part of FireFox and is trying to access FireFox's PKCS#11 module. It is not using FireFox's PKCS#11 module, but is using a Solaris module. > where i am going wrong. > can anybody tell me how to do this. > it would be very helpful if u point me any site, which i can refer. > > thanks > -- Nelson B 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 00000000011111111112222222222333333333344444444445555555555666666666677777777778 _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
