Hi,

Should I switch to german?

Thank you very much for making gpkcs11 available as OpenSource!

I stumbled across gpkcs11 about a week ago, and tried to get it running, bu=
t=20
without much luck.

gpkcs11 itself compiles somewhat cleanly, but I didn=B4t succeed to get=20
ceay_token linked together. I tried it with openssl-0.9.8 and openssl-0.9.6=
,=20
but it doesn=B4t work.

Does anyone have up-to-date binaries (perhaps for SuSE 9.3 or compatible?)?

How is the specialized openssl variante supposed to be linked with ceay_tok=
en?=20
statically or dynamically?

What about renaming the special openssl library to something different?=20
opensslgspkcs or something? Then there wouldn=B4t be much chance for confli=
cts.

Is it really necessary not to distribute the openssl package with the gpkcs=
11=20
package? Distributing it together (in a already prepared way) would help a =
=20
lot, I think.
And having nicely installable binary RPM=B4s/dpkg=B4s would also not be a b=
ad=20
idea.

Now regarding the registry:

=46or the PKCS#11 drivers, I am currently proposing /usr/lib/pks11/*.so as =
a=20
"registry" for all PKCS#11 drivers. So I would suggest that gpkcs11 install=
s=20
itself there too.
=46or the gpkcs Tokens, I would suggest something like /usr/lib/gpkcs11-tok=
ens/=20
or something.
gpkcs should automatically try to load all the tokens which are installed i=
n=20
that directory.

Regarding the PersistentRootDir, the ceay_token should automatically use=20
~/.ceay_token/  (and the other tokens accordingly).

Where is the TCSC Token implementation? I could not find it.

Where is the DATA Token implementation?

Regarding PKCS#11 client, I would suggest to bundle pkcs11-tool from OpenSC=
=20
with gpkcs#11. http://www.opensc.org/

I found another soft-token PKCS#11 driver:
http://people.su.se/~lha/soft-pkcs11/

(I wish there were a mixture between soft-pkcs11 and gpkcs. The simple desi=
gn=20
from soft-pkcs11, the functionality of ceay-token)

I attached the pkcs11.log file with the error messages:

/* CI_GetDLLHandle(): Opening Dynamic Library=20
'/usr/local/lib/libceay_tok.so.1.0.1' failed: /usr/local/lib/libceay_tok.so=

/* CI_InitTokenDll(): retrieving dll handle (GENERAL ERROR) */
/* CI_TokenInit(): Init'ing of Token 'CEAY-TOKEN' failed: no valid init=20
symbol(GENERAL ERROR) */

Thank you for your help,
Philipp G=FChring
