Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-07-13 12:03:02 UTC

Description of problem:
pkcs11-helper uses a custom format to specify objects in a token. However, in Fedora we use the standardized (RFC7512) PKCS #11 URLs to specify objects in tokens across applications [0], It seems that pkcs11-helper is one of the last PKCS #11 helper libraries which doesn't support these URLs, creating islands of applications which don't understand them.

There is already a patch to upstream:
https://github.com/OpenSC/pkcs11-helper/issues/5

Actually I think I already fixed this as bug 1173554.

I'm not sure we've got to the point where OpenVPN actually *works* yet though.
OpenSC still craps itself on fork, p11-kit-proxy still deadlocks, and pkcs11-helper still violates POSIX by doing forbidden things from an atfork handler.
