Hi,
My understanding from previous postings on this list is that the
CKA_ALWAYS_AUTHENTICATE + CKU_CONTEXT_SPECIFIC features of PKCS #11
are not supported in NSS. 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, I think it is not supported at all, at least as far as I know. The
support had to be added in bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357025 (in its first
stage), that has to be assigned to me, but I have stopped working on
that in the past due to some other more important stuff in my area. If
there is anyone free to take that bug, please do so.
