I'm looking for an example on how to setup the eToken PRO Java device to work with Mozilla Thunderbird and with other Linux tool such as PAM logon. I installed distributed pkiclient-5.00.28-0.i386.RPM
from the official product page eToken Pro but that tool only handles importing/exporting certificates on the device. I read a glance an old HOWTO from eToken on Linux, but I couldn't install pkcs11-lib for this device as recommended for Thunderbird use this crypto device.
It seems my usb token isn't listed in system, unless lsusb show it, so that is the matter
modutil -list -dbdir /etc/pki/nssdb
Listing of PKCS #11 Modules
- NSS Internal PKCS #11 Module Blockquote slots: 2 slots attached Blockquote status: loaded Blockquote slot: NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services Blockquote token: NSS Certificate DB Blockquote
- CoolKey PKCS #11 Module Blockquote library name: libcoolkeypk11.so Blockquote slots: 1 slot attached Blockquote status: loaded Blockquote slot: AKS ifdh [Main Interface] 00 00 token:
is my token absent? on other hand i don't know which module is convenient to Java Pro, does CoolKey does all the job well? It seems Java token is too new hardware for Linux? there is excerpt from /etc/pam_pkcs11.conf
#filename of the PKCS #11 module. The default value is "default" use_pkcs11_module = coolkey; screen_savers = gnome-screensaver,xscreensaver,kscreensaver pkcs11_module coolkey { module = libcoolkeypk11.so; description = "Cool Key"`
