There are no more readily apparent linker errors at runtime, and the gcc-compiled pcsc-lite and ccid appear to function normally.

Unfortunately, attempting to add /usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.so as a Security Module in Firefox-3.5.7 fails with an "unable to add module" error. This error occurs whether pcscd is running or not, whether a card reader is plugged in or not, and whether a Common Access Card is inserted into the card reader and recognized by pcsc or not. Firefox refuses to add the module every time.

I don't suppose I'm missing anything obvious here?
Nothing I can see.

I would expect libcoolkeypk11 to load even if there are no readers.

The most obvious issue would be missing library dependencies. On linux we have an ldd command that will dump what libraries are used, I suspsect solaris has something similar.

Here's what ldd reveals:

reinholz@etrenank:~$ ldd /usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.so
    libckyapplet.so.1 =>     /usr/local/lib/libckyapplet.so.1
    libdl.so.1 =>     /lib/libdl.so.1
    libz.so.1 =>     /lib/libz.so.1
    libstdc++.so.6 =>     /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
    libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
    libgcc_s.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
    libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1

Looks normal, but ld reveals a problem:

reinholz@etrenank:~$ ld /usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.so
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address

So it looks like something is not linked correctly...

The next think might be grab a copy of NSS and build it (https://developer.mozilla.org/NSS_3.12.5_release_notes). In the mozilla/security/nss/cmd there is a tool called pk11util, and some sample scripts. It will let you try to initialize pkcs 11 modules without all the rest of NSS and firefox.
You can at least see what stage the failure is coming from (dlopen, C_Initialize, etc).

I messed around with the nss source a little. I can build it on OpenSolaris by executing the following commands within the mozilla/security/nss subdirectories of the nss source:

make NS_USE_GCC=1 NO_MDUPDATE=1 nss_build_all

pfexec make NS_USE_GCC=1 NO_MDUPDATE=1 install

However, attempting to run modutil results in an error about ssl3:

ld.so.1: modutil: fatal: libssl3.so: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

I'm not particularly inclined to troubleshoot nss and turn this project into something bigger than it already is. I think the ld error relating to libcoolkeypk11.so is a good hint that something is not linked correctly. Perhaps with more tinkering I can figure out a way forward.
I messed around with NSS a little more. Turns out buried in the documentation from Mozilla that 'make install' within the NSS source does not behave as we're used to on GNU and other systems using the GNU build tools. (i.e. configure, make, make install). Doing some manual lib copying, and adding a directory to my PATH, I was able to get the NSS binaries to execute without any lib errors. :)

The bad news is that while pk11mode built and apparently runs just fine, pk11util was not built, even though it's included within the NSS source.

Attempting to build pk11util by entering its subdirectory directly:

cd Download/nss-3.12.5-with-nspr-4.8.2/mozilla/security/nss/cmd/pk11util/

And build pk11util yields the following error:

reinholz@etrenank:~/Download/nss-3.12.5-with-nspr-4.8.2/mozilla/security/nss/cmd/pk11util$ make NS_USE_GCC=1 NO_MDUPDATE=1

reinholz@etrenank:~/Download/nss-3.12.5-with-nspr-4.8.2/mozilla/security/nss/cmd/pk11util$

I don't suppose there are any meaningful tests I can perform on libcoolkeypk11.so using pk11mode?

Do you have any specific examples of coolkey-related tests using pk11util or any other Mozilla NSS components?

If pk11util is the critical debugging tool I'm missing to try to pinpoint why coolkey won't work for me with Firefox on OpenSolaris, I'll work on troubleshooting/building pk11util on OpenSolaris.

Thanks again for your help.

Kevin
