Are you talking about CKF_PROTECTED_AUTHENTICATION_PATH?
Isn't that supposed to tell the application that the PKCS#11 provider
can get the PIN without the application help (like using a pinpad
reader)?

My application is (mainly) Firefox.

Is it that simple than returning an error code (or something similar)
to Firefox so that Firefox asks the PIN to the user and issue a new
C_Login() with the PIN to the provider?

Does OpenSC support that feature?
Does Firefox support that feature?
