NAME

6       pkcsslotd - shared memory manager for opencryptoki
7

DESCRIPTION

10       The  pkcsslotd  daemon  manages PKCS#11 objects between PKCS#11-enabled
11       applications. When 2 or more processes are accessing the  same  crypto‐
12       graphic token, the daemon is notified and updates each application when
13       the token's objects change.

NOTES

17       Only one instance of the pkcsslotd daemon  should  be  running  on  any
18       given host. If a prior instance of pkcsslotd did not shut down cleanly,
19       then it may leave an allocated shared memory segment on the system. The
20       allocated memory segment can be identified by its key and can be safely
21       removed once the daemon is stopped with the ipcrm command, such as:
22
23       ipcrm -M 0x6202AB38
24
25       The daemon creates the shared memory segment with  group  ownership  by
26       the  pkcs11  group. All non-root users that should be able to use open‐
27       Cryptoki need to be members of the group. Only trusted users should  be
28       assigned  to  the group, see the "SECURITY NOTE" in the opencryptoki(7)
29       manual page for details.
