hi,
You need to add the parameters "nssArgs" and "slot" to your
pkcs11.config file:
name = NSS
slot = 2
library = /path/to/libsoftokn3.so
nssArgs = "configdir='/path/to/db/files' certPrefix='' keyPrefix=''
secmod='secmod.db' flags=readOnly"
I attached a quick test program that will list the certs store in the db
called PKCS11ListCerts.java
-glen

The problem is in the softokn3.dll module. This PKCS #11 module
requires extra parameters which are not part of the PKCS #11 spec
(they've been proposed, but it's been several years and haven't yet been
accepted -- mostly do to inertia).
Anyway softokn3.dll requires these parameters in order to initialize
(they specify where the NSS databases should be). I've been meaning to
fix this, but it hasn't been a priority at this point. Anyway I've heard
that the sun java code knows that softokn requires extra parameters and
does have a way to specify them (probably in the pkcs11.config file).

I'm trying to connect to firefox's PKCS#11 implementation using the
new sun PKCS#11 Provider.
My code looks like:
String configName = "c:\\pkcs11.config";
Provider p = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(configName);
Security.addProvider(p);
My pkcs11.config is:
name = Firefox
library = C:\Mozilla\softokn3.dll
And I always got the error:
Exception in thread "main" java.security.ProviderException:

Does anyone know what is wrong? Or where can I found a solution?
Thanks,
Enzo Motta.
