I'm trying to connect to firefox's PKCS#11 implementation using the new sun
PKCS#11 Provider.
My code looks like:
String configName = "c:\\pkcs11.config";
Provider p = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(configName);
Security.addProvider(p);
My pkcs11.config is:
name = Firefox
library = C:\Mozilla\softokn3.dll
And I always got the error:
Exception in thread "main" java.security.ProviderException: Initialization

Does anyone know what is wrong? Or where can I found a solution?
Thanks,

Are you trying to do this in your own process, or from an applet running
within the Mozilla browser ?
If from your own process, be aware that the NSS softoken requires some
arguments to be passed in to the CK_C_INITIALIZE_ARGS structure. Check
the source for softoken to see what these are.
If from within mozilla, I would currently recommend against you doing
this (see bugzilla 292809 for the reasons why) .
However, if you do try, you sohuld let Mozilla initialize NSS for you,
and then the SunPKCS11 provider can "load" the softoken, which is
already initialized, and use it.
