How to Check if PKCS11 module is valid or not

[aniljadaun]

I am new to this. Sorry is advance if my question is too naive.

PKCS11 Module is not correctly loaded into my App. Another module is correctly loaded. I need to check if issue is with module or App.

Using the below command for testing the validity of both modules:

pkcs11-tool --module "module.dll" --list-slot

output for working module:

---

Available slots:
Slot 0 (0x0): Virtual Slot 0
(empty)
Slot 1 (0x1): Virtual Slot 1
(empty)
Slot 2 (0x2): Virtual Slot 2
(empty)
Slot 3 (0x3): Virtual Slot 3

Output for non-working module

your test worked great, the non working module is shown as not working!

your non-working module is only used for logging, it doesn't implement any pkcs11 functionality.
