Need help using M2Crypto.Engine to access USB Token

Question

I am using M2Crypto-0.20.2. I want to use engine_pkcs11 from the OpenSC project and the Aladdin PKI client for token based authentication making xmlrpc calls over ssl.

Answer 1

I think the problem is not really the "load_private_key()". It's like something is missing between "MODULE_PATH" definition and the load_private_key() call. What happen if you remplace "/usr/lib/libeTPkcs11.so" by a wrong path ? In my case I have no error related to this.

I've run "pcscd" in foreground with high debug level, there is no call to smartcard during the python execution... So definitly, I don't understand what's wrong...

The equivalent in "openssl" is using "-pre" command. The "-pre" (by opposite to the "-post") are command sent to the engine before loading. Perhaps we need to call a methode which "load" the engine after all "ctrl_cmd_string" calls ?? ...
