Hi there,


how can i access the Mozilla NSS (shared) Database (cert8 or cert9d.db) / 
PKCS#11-Modules via OpenSSL?

I need read & write access to the NSS User Cert Database (softokn3) and to the 
Built-In Cert Database (nssckbi) under Windows.



I tried it with Libp11 this way:



int rc = 0;
        PKCS11_CTX *pkcs11_ctx;
        pkcs11_ctx = PKCS11_CTX_new();
        PKCS11_CTX_init_args(pkcs11_ctx,
                             
"configdir=''C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/5wzkdcjx.default'
 certPrefix='' keyPrefix='' secmod='secmod.db'");
        rc = PKCS11_CTX_load(pkcs11_ctx, " C:/Program Files 
(x86)/Mozilla/Firefox/softokn3.dll ");
        printf("Desc: %s\n", pkcs11_ctx->description);
        if (rc)
                printf("Error loading Module");

But it return every time "-1" which tells me that the loading fails. So is this 
the right way? Or should I use another library? Or is my code not right?

And can I edit the Trust Settings with that or another library like with NSS 
directly? Because I can't delete the built-in certs of nssckbi because this is 
read-only I can edit the Trust-Settings for that certificate. Can I do that 
with OpenSSL in combination with a library, too? Or should I better use NSS 
instead of OpenSSL?



Thanks.
