NAME
       softhsm.conf - SoftHSM configuration file

SYNOPSIS
       softhsm.conf

DESCRIPTION
       In  PKCS#11  you	 need  tokens in order to do cryptographic operations.
       Tokens can be viewed as object stores where you can store e.g.  private
       and  public  keys.  A token must then be attached to a slot so that you
       can use it.

       Slots and tokens are handled by the SoftHSM  configuration  file.   The
       given paths in the configuration file are just an indication to SoftHSM
       on where it should store the information for  each  token.   The	 token
       databases will be created when the tokens gets initialized.

FILE FORMAT
       Each  pair of slot and token are configured on one line.	 Starting with
       an unsigned integer as the slot ID and then a path  where  SoftHSM  can
       create  a  SQLite  database.  These parameters are separated by a semi‐
       colon.  It is OK to have extra  space  between  the  parameters,	 since
       these will be ignored.

	      <Slot_ID>:<Path_to_the_token_database>

       It is also possible to add comments in the file by using the hash sign.
       Anything after the hash sign will be ignored.

	      #<text>

       Any line that does not have the correct format will be ignored.

EXAMPLE
	      0:/var/lib/softhsm/slot0.db

	      1:/home/user/token.database		 # My own token

ENVIRONMENT
       SOFTHSM_CONF
	      When defined, the value will be used as path to  the  configura‐
	      tion file.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/softhsm.conf
	      default location of the SoftHSM configuration file

       /usr/local/etc/softhsm.conf.sample
	      an example of a SoftHSM configuration file
