Also, I tried using softokn3.dll copied to a new directory (from Firefox 3 installation) as a starting point. After it complained while loading, I added more and more files untill it loaded properly. I ended with the following files in a clean directory: softokn3.dll freebl3.chk mozcrt19.dll nspr4.dll nssutil3.dll plc4.dll plds4.dll softokn3.chk sqlite3.dll The dll now loads ok, I got the function list pointer ok, but every pFunctionList->C_Initialize(&ArgsInitialize) call that I tried (both valid and invalid combination of arguments) returns with an error code 48 (CKR_DEVICE_ERROR). I've read about a config file, but couldn't quite understand if it only relates to java binding, how to use such file, I've read about pointing it to a db file, but couldn't quite find examples of such usages, and generally, how to make the dll load properly, initialize and function as a working pkcs11 front-end with a soft-token back-end. Any starting point would be appreciated. avih _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
