Adriano,
I am curious why you would want to do just that, have the other application
access the file objects on the smart card bypassing PKCS#11? This is asking for
trouble if the PKCS#11 using application is relying on the status of file
objects on the card that the other application is changing (our PKCS#11
implementation for example uses a cashing scheme to minimize card access).
It sounds like both applications do not exist today. Why then not write the
second application in a way that also uses PKCS#11 to access the objects on the
card? Or do you intent that the other application uses file objects on the same
card that are not seen and used by the PKCS#11 layer? This is very well
possible if the PKCS#11 implementation is using OCF internally. In that case
both applications work on disjunct file objects on the same card and OCF
arbitrates the access to this card.
