Hello Andreas,

That could be an interesting feature, although I'm guessing that in the
case you described you preserve the PIN codes in-memory
(auto-activation)?

This would probably be kind of unusable in case of HSMs, I guess, where
you may wish to have a hard-token based activation of slots.

It would be interesting to see if your code could be intergrated
somehow as an external module for EJBCA, that'd mean people could use
it if they want to irrespective of whether it can be included in EJBCA
core or not.

Was your code a patch for EJBCA or...?

Best regards
