To view all tokens in your system use: @example $ p11tool --list-tokens @end example To view all objects in a token use: @example $ p11tool --login --list-all "pkcs11:TOKEN-URL" @end example To store a private key and a certificate in a token run: @example $ p11tool --login --write "pkcs11:URL" --load-privkey key.pem \ --label "Mykey" $ p11tool --login --write "pkcs11:URL" --load-certificate cert.pem \ --label "Mykey" @end example Note that some tokens require the same label to be used for the certificate and its corresponding private key. To generate an RSA private key inside the token use: @example $ p11tool --login --generate-privkey rsa --bits 1024 --label "MyNewKey" \ --outfile MyNewKey.pub "pkcs11:TOKEN-URL" @end example The bits parameter in the above example is explicitly set because some tokens only support limited choices in the bit length. The output file is the corresponding public key. This key can be used to general a certificate request with certtool. @example certtool --generate-request --load-privkey "pkcs11:KEY-URL" \ --load-pubkey MyNewKey.pub --outfile request.pem @end example
