PK_CONFIG_DATA(5) openCryptoki PK_CONFIG_DATA(5)NAME
pk_config_data - Configuration file for pkcsslotd.
DESCRIPTION
This file contains records corresponding to available openCryptoki tokens. At startup, the pkcsslotd daemon parses this file to determine
which tokens are available for use. The file should not be manually edited and will be overwritten each time pkcs11_startup is run.

PKCSSLOTD(8) openCryptoki PKCSSLOTD(8)NAME
pkcsslotd - shared memory manager for opencryptoki
DESCRIPTION
The pkcsslotd daemon manages PKCS#11 objects between PKCS#11-enabled applications. When 2 or more processes are accessing the same crypto-
graphic token, the daemon is notified and updates each application when the token's objects change.
NOTES
Only one instance of the pkcsslotd daemon should be running on any given host. If a prior instance of pkcsslotd did not shut down cleanly,
then it may leave an allocated shared memory segment on the system. The allocated memory segment can be identified by its key and can be
safely removed once the daemon is stopped with the ipcrm command, such as:
ipcrm -M 0x6202AB38
In order to prevent a denial of service against the daemon, the shared memory segment is created with group ownership by the "pkcs11"
group. Any application that requires access to a pkcs11 token must be run by a user who's a member of the "pkcs11" group.
