Description p11-kit is a command line tool that can be used to perform operations on PKCS#11 modules configured on the system. See the various sub commands below. The following global options can be used: Run in verbose mode with debug output. Run in quiet mode without warning or failure messages. List Modules List system configured PKCS#11 modules. $ p11-kit list-modules The modules, information about them and the tokens present in the PKCS#11 modules will be displayed. Extract Extract certificates from configured PKCS#11 modules. This operation has been moved to a separate command trust extract. See trust1 for more information Server Run a server process that exposes PKCS#11 module remotely. $ p11-kit server pkcs11:token1 pkcs11:token2 ... $ p11-kit server --provider /path/to/pkcs11-module.so pkcs11:token1 pkcs11:token2 ... This launches a server that exposes the given PKCS#11 tokens on a local socket. The tokens must belong to the same module. To access the socket, use p11-kit-client.so module. The server address and PID are printed as a shell-script snippet which sets the appropriate environment variable: P11_KIT_SERVER_ADDRESS and P11_KIT_SERVER_PID. Extract Trust Extract standard trust information files. This operation has been moved to a separate command trust extract-compat. See trust1 for more information Remote Run a PKCS#11 module remotely. $ p11-kit remote /path/to/pkcs11-module.so $ p11-kit remote pkcs11:token1 pkcs11:token2 ... This is not meant to be run directly from a terminal. But rather in a option in a pkcs11.conf5 file. This exposes the given PKCS#11 module or tokens over standard input and output. Those two forms, whether to expose a module or tokens, are mutually exclusive and if the second form is used, the tokens must belong to the same module.
