Thank you for this information. How about Thunderbird and Firefox specifically, would either of them honor the CKA_ALWAYS_AUTHENTICATE=TRUE by prompting for PIN and call C_Login(CKU_CONTEXT_SPECIFIC,...)? - Helge

Is this likely to be implemented in the near future? 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. bob - Helge
