I opened the issue https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/7258
Also, opened issue https://github.com/OpenSC/libp11/issues/249
and https://github.com/opendnssec/SoftHSMv2/issues/417

Found the root cause to be the openssl version 1.1.1 that was used to compile 
the engine_pkcs11 and SoftHSM.
When I recompiled with openssl-1.0.2p, it worked fine. See 
https://github.com/OpenSC/libp11/issues/249 for details.

Sure. I will open the issue.

Would it be possible for you to open this as an issue on Github and include 
there your first email and the full logs?

Thanks,

That is not it. It results in the same error for the EC key.



It is not the URL or the ID. Because for a RSA key in the softhsm with id = 
3333, it works fine with url containing id=%33%33



$ openssl pkey -in 
"pkcs11:model=SoftHSM%20v2;manufacturer=SoftHSM%20project;serial=6a160d52b750862f;token=token%202.5.0-rc1;id=%33%33;object=rsa%20key;type=private"
 -engine pkcs11 -inform ENGINE

engine "pkcs11" set.

Enter PKCS#11 token PIN for token 2.5.0-rc1:

Coming back to EC key, looking at the error logs emitted, it does seem to 
recognize it to be EC (the logs contain EC_routines) somehow but then fails.

    Ok, so here, the ID is "1111"

    But here, the ID is "%11%11", and since those get percent decoded,

    that's actually two vertical tabs, or with C vector syntax,

    { 0x0b, 0x0b }



    I'm not sure what engine-pkcs11 asks of you otherwise, but one guess

    could be to change 'id=%11%11' to 'id=1111' in that URL and try again.



    Cheers,

    Richard
