Hi,

I am trying to fix Johnnys problem with long certificate issuance
duration when using the nCipher token module.

I have implemented a caching mechanism that stores a successful
infrastructure and key-online check of the HSM, but this is
basically useless because a new instance seems to be created
for each private key operation. So the infrastructure check
is always performed.

What I need is some kind of data persistence between invocations
of OpenCA::Token::nCipher::login(). It would be sufficient to
keep a single timestamp across invocations.

Would it help to use a different token mode? (Currently it's 'daemon'.)

As I only need to determine the last time of a successful invocation,
it would suffice to create an empty file in the temporary directory
and stat() it to check how much time has elapsed since last write
access to the file, but unfortunately I don't have the TMP directory
configuration variable accessible in the module either.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Martin

PS: I'm on vacation next week.
