Confirmed! This works for me too. Thank you very much!

One correction, though, the command needs to be:

$ modutil -add "NemID" -libfile /path/to/libNemID_PKCS11.so.1.0.0 -dbdir
sql:/path/to/home/.pki/nssdb

(the shell can't expand ~ in this context, since it's no longer a pure
filepath when you prepend sql:)

I assume this means Evolution is using a legacy interface to the
certificate database? Any plans to update this? Any plans to implement
GUI support for adding PKCS11 keystores? (Just in case a developer is
still following this conversation)

Is there somewhere in the Evolution documentation this should be added?

Best,
