Actually, that's not the case. There is at least code in NSS that is
supposed to handle CKA_ALWAYS_AUTHENTICATE. That isn't to say every
application can handle suddenly being prompted for a password for a
private key (Servers, for instance, are likely to barf), but the support
should be in, at least in relatively modern version of NSS.
