Hello, I have a hardware accelerator installed in my Solaris 10 x86 machine and would like to disable the Sun PKCS11 softtoken.
This is the output of my "cryptoadm list" User-level providers: Provider: /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pkcs11_kernel.so Provider: /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pkcs11_softtoken_extra.so Kernel software providers: des aes256 arcfour2048 blowfish448 sha1 sha2 md5 rsa swrand Kernel hardware providers: mca/0 When I try to disable the softtoken , I get the following error. *bash-3.00# cryptoadm disable provider="/usr/lib/security/$ISA/pkcs11_softtoken_* *extra.so" mechanism=CKM_RSA_PKCS,CKM_RSA_PKCS_KEY_PAIR_GEN,CKM_RSA_X_509,CKM_MD* *5_RSA_PKCS* *cryptoadm: /usr/lib/security//pkcs11_softtoken_extra.so does not exist.\* * * Also in a similar note, when I add the hardware accelerator to my NSS database using modutil, and list it, I get the following output. # modutil -list -dbdir . Listing of PKCS #11 Modules ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. NSS Internal PKCS #11 Module slots: 2 slots attached status: loaded slot: NSS Internal Cryptographic Services token: NSS Generic Crypto Services slot: NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services token: NSS Certificate DB 2. Sun Crypto Accelerator library name: /usr/lib/libpkcs11.so slots: 2 slots attached status: loaded slot: Sun Metaslot token: Sun Metaslot slot: Sun Crypto Softtoken token: Sun Software PKCS#11 softtoken I am confused why the slot "Sun Crypto Softtoken" is also being listed, shouldn't it be the hardware accelerator slots that should be listed with the Sun Metaslot? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks, Rishi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
