To answer your question we'll need a little bit more context. When you
say sign, do you mean that you have (created) a program that used
SoftHSM v2 as a PKCS #11 library? And if so, how did you create the keys
that you were using to sign? If the private key was created with the
CKA_PRIVATE attribute set to CK_FALSE, then you can create signatures
without logging in on the token.

Cheers,

Roland
