Hi,

I have use openssl-1.0.0 and engine_pkcs11 for storing an rsa private key in a smartcard (feitian epass 3000). I got openssl to access the rsa private key and used it to create a self-signed certificate like this:

openssl

OpenSSL> engine dynamic \
> -pre SO_PATH:/home/ds/local/lib/engines/engine_pkcs11.so \
> -pre ID:pkcs11 -pre LIST_ADD:1 -pre LOAD \
> -pre MODULE_PATH:opensc-pkcs11.so

(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
[Success]: SO_PATH:/home/ds/local/lib/engines/engine_pkcs11.so
[Success]: ID:pkcs11
[Success]: LIST_ADD:1
[Success]: LOAD
[Success]: MODULE_PATH:opensc-pkcs11.so
Loaded: (pkcs11) pkcs11 engine

OpenSSL> req -new -x509 -engine pkcs11 -keyform engine -text \
> -key slot_1-id_6de677f53533e28254d5890e2d7a15a8135883ca \

engine "pkcs11" set.
PKCS#11 token PIN:
<Certificate related prompts...>

So far so good.

Now, I would like this engine to install automatically i.e. without having to run the engine command. I tried adding the following to openssl.cnf

##########################
openssl_conf = openssl_def

[ openssl_def ]
engines = engine_section

[ engine_section ]
pkcs11 = pkcs11_section

[ pkcs11_section ]
engine_id = pkcs11
dynamic_path = /home/ds/local/lib/engines/engine_pkcs11.so
MODULE_PATH = opensc-pkcs11.so
init = 0
##########################

but it doesn't work properly. Here's what I get:
$ openssl engine -t

Can someone shed some light into this?

Thank you,
Dimitrios Siganos
