NAME¶

p11-kit - Tool for operating on configured PKCS#11 modules

SYNOPSIS¶

p11-kit list-modules

p11-kit extract ...

p11-kit server ...

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:

-v, --verbose

-q, --quiet

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 trust(1) for more information

SERVER¶

Run a server process that exposes PKCS#11 module remotely.

$ p11-kit server /path/to/pkcs11-module.so
$ p11-kit server pkcs11:token-uri

This launches a server that exposes the given PKCS#11 module or token on a local socket. 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 trust(1) for more information

REMOTE¶

Run a PKCS#11 module remotely.

$ p11-kit remote /path/to/pkcs11-module.so

This is not meant to be run directly from a terminal. But rather in a remote option in a pkcs11.conf(5) file.
