Description of problem: The commit 12f16710ee44ef64ddb044a3523c3c4c4d90039a introduced a regression that makes pesign fail instantly instead of asking for a token's password. This has been noted in upstream issue https://github.com/rhboot/pesign/issues/105. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): WORKS - pesign-113-21.el9 FAILS - pesign-114-2.el9 How reproducible: Easily Steps to Reproduce: Additional information can be found at https://github.com/rhboot/pesign/issues/105 1. dnf install -y git rpmdevtools softhsm nss-tools pesign 2. mkdir -p $HOME/.config/softhsm2/tokens 3. echo "directories.tokendir = $HOME/.config/softhsm2/tokens" > $HOME/.config/softhsm2/softhsm2.conf 4. softhsm2-util --init-token --label HSM --so-pin Secret.123 --pin Secret.123 --free 5. git clone https://github.com/rhboot/shim.git 6. cd shim/ 7. ./make-certs example 8. mkdir ~/.nssdb 9. pk12util -i example.p12 -d ~/.nssdb/ -h HSM Enter Password or Pin for "HSM": Secret.123 Enter password for PKCS12 file: (BLANK) pk12util: PKCS12 IMPORT SUCCESSFUL 10. cd ~ 11. dnf download shim 12. rpmdev-extract shim-x64-*.x86_64.rpm 13. cd shim-x64-*.x86_64/boot/efi/EFI/redhat/ 14. pesign --remove-signature --signature-number=0 --in=shimx64.efi --out=shimx64.efi.unsigned 15. pesign -t HSM -n ~/.nssdb -c example -i ~/shim-x64-*.x86_64/boot/efi/EFI/redhat/shimx64.efi.unsigned -o ~/shimx64.efi.example -s Actual results: # pesign -t HSM -n ~/.nssdb -c example -i ~/shim-x64-*.x86_64/boot/efi/EFI/redhat/shimx64.efi.unsigned -o ~/shimx64.efi.example -s authentication failed for token "HSM": The security password entered is incorrect. pesign: Could not find certificate example Expected results: # pesign -t HSM -n ~/.nssdb -c example -i ~/shim-x64-*.x86_64/boot/efi/EFI/redhat/shimx64.efi.unsigned -o ~/shimx64.efi.example -s Enter Password or Pin for "HSM": Additional info: I Checked upstream package pesign-116-2, and this does NOT have a fix available.
