I have been desperately trying to find answer to this issue we are
facing.Setup:We have 2 Java processes each using IAIK PKCS#11 Wrapper
(iaik.pkcs.pkcs11) to talk to a shared single token NSS (softokn3.dll) .Each
of these Java processes are Http Jetty servers which create the
iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.Session and logs in ( at the time jetty server starts )
:session = token.openSession(Token.SessionType.SERIAL_SESSION,                  
 
Token.SessionReadWriteBehavior.RW_SESSION, null,
null);session.login(Session.UserType.USER, XXXX);When Jetty servers are
shutdown, respective iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.Session are closed.Problem :We were
expecting that when a Java process (jetty server) updates/creates the token
objects Example: Java process 1 adds Secret key -> AESSecretKey
aesKeyTemplate = new
AESSecretKey();aesKeyTemplate.getToken().setBooleanValue(true);AESSecretKey
aesKeyNew = (AESSecretKey) session.generateKey(keyGenerationMechanism,
aesKeyTemplate)The other java/Jetty server process 2 would be able to find
and retrieve newly added/updated key that was added by Java Process 1
through it's sessionExample: KeyHandle keyHandle =
null;keyTemplate.getToken().setBooleanValue(true);session.findObjectsInit(keyTemplate);Unfortunately,
that doesn't seem to be the case. I had to shutdown the 2nd Jetty server and
then it was able to see the find the key that was added by 1st Java jetty
process.My confusion:Wasn't underlying token/device getting modified by the
1st java/Jetty process. if so, wouldn't those created token objects be
visible throughout all sessions from all others
processes/applications.Please do correct me if I'm thinking wrong. Would
truly appreciate your help.Thanks..
