Hello -
I have been reading this document to configure NSS. 
When I configure my configuration file to look like this
name = NSS
nssLibraryDirectory = /usr/lib64
nssDbMode = noDb 
attributes = compatibility
Things "run" in my environment and my trust provider class loads and runs
When I configure my configuration file to this
name = NSS

nssLibraryDirectory = /usr/lib64

nssSecmodDirectory = /etc/pki/nssdb/fips 

attributes = compatibility
The process dies immediately - no logs written to determine an error.
What can be the problem when adding this Secmod directory path?
Note - in my Secmod directory path I have run these commands only (haven't 
filled the databases with certs/keys).
certutil -N -d .
and 
modutil -fips = true -dbdif . -force
Anna.

The rest of that document below explains how to configure any PKCS#11 device.  
NSS is just a special case that they have added some extras for.
