I will try to summarize my problem. I am implementing pkcs#11 library
to access our smart card. Currently i am testing ssl. I have succeeded
with internet explorer; but i am struggling with firefox. I think
other developers came accross with the same situation. Because firefox
uses constants which are not defined in pkcs#11 standarts. If I have
to give examples, at C_FindObjectsInit function firefox looks for
class type 0xCE534354 stands for  CKO_NSS_BUILTIN_ROOT_LIST. Also at
C_GetAttributeValue firefox wants an attribute which has  0xCE534352
value stands for CKO_NSS_SMIME. These values (0xCE534354, 0xCE534352)
are in the interval of vendor defined values according to pkcs11
standarts. I couldn't find any documentation for firefox defined
values. I will be pleased with any suggestions and guidance.
These are NSS extensions, allocated out the 'VENDOR Defined' space. A properly implemented PKCS #11 module should simple return 'no objects found'. for the CKO objects.

These objects are used by NSS to store additional information which most tokens would not otherwise store (otherwise the would have been part of the PKCS #11 standard:).

There currently isn't a central spec other than our header file for these objects and attributes (and mechanism). I should write one in my copious spare time;)...

Thanks.
