Hi,

I'm trying to use a PKCS#11 module with pidgin-encryption, but it never uses the configuration I'm doing.

I ran:
modutil -create -dbdir ~/.purple/ -secmod cap.db
to create the structure and overwrite what the plugin created. This automatically configured the module I want to use:
~/.purple$ modutil -list -dbdir . -secmod cap.db

Listing of PKCS #11 Modules
-----------------------------------------------------------
  1. NSS Internal PKCS #11 Module
     slots: 2 slots attached
    status: loaded

     slot: NSS Internal Cryptographic Services
    token: NSS Generic Crypto Services

     slot: NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services
    token: NSS Certificate DB

  2. SafeSign PKCS#11 Module
    library name: /usr/lib/libaetpkss.so
     slots: 1 slot attached
    status: loaded

     slot: OmniKey CardMan 3121 00 00
    token: TJ-PR

  3. Root Certs
    library name: ./libnssckbi.so
     slots: 1 slot attached
    status: loaded

     slot: NSS Builtin Objects
    token: Builtin Object Token
-----------------------------------------------------------

I tried disabling every other module (1 and 3) to no avail. It always uses the key stored in id/id.priv.

Since this plugin uses NSS for encryption, shouldn't it be possible for me to configure it through modutil?

Cheers!
