Hi,
I'm facing a problem while getting certificates and private keys from
firefox keystore using SunPKCS#11 and NSS 3.11. My configuration file is:
name=NSS
library=G:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\softokn3.dll
description=NSS PKCS11
nssArgs="configdir='G:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Application
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/3aaug6a3.default' certPrefix='' keyPrefix=''
secmod='secmod.db' flags=readOnly"
slot=2
I retrieved the certificates and private keys from firefox using these
configurations and adding provider dynamically it worked for me about 2 to 3
times successfully. I just updated the update of library to someother
location and i'm constantly facing the following exception while getting
certificates and private keys from firefox keystore.
Exception is:
java.security.ProviderException: Initialization failed
at sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11.<init>(SunPKCS11.java:340)
at sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11.<init>(SunPKCS11.java:90)
at FireFoxCert.main(FireFoxCert.java:74)
Caused by: java.io.IOException: The specified module could not be found.
G:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\softokn3.dll
Softokn3.dll is placed at "G:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\softokn3.dll"
but exception says its failed to find out the libaray from that location.
Plz correct me if i'm doing wrong with my configurations. Waiting for your
reply...
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Israr Ahmed
