Hello,

I am developing a PKCS#11 module and I would like to improve it a bit - let me explain: Currently, when adding a new PKCS#11 module via the GUI (or modutil), the module is not added when it returns CKR_DEVICE_REMOVED on C_Initialize and it says a rather nothing-saying error message "Unable to add module". I would like to be able to add the module even when the device is not connected to the computer. My colleagues told me that USB tokens "iKey" are shipped with a PKCS#11 module which does this. My question is: what should I do to my PKCS#11 module so that it could be added even when the device is not currently connected to the computer? I just know that I can't return CKR_OK on C_Initialize because more calls would be requested for such as device name, and, obviously, I cannot get such information without the device being connected.
Thanks to all replies,

M. Kurpel
