[xmlsec] Signing xml using etoken

[Ivan Barrera A.]

Hi again.

Ive tried almost all solutions ive found on the web, and still no luck.

Maybe it cannot be done, i dont know, so ill explain a little more of
what i have :

- USB etoken (Aladdin Pro32K, using its own format)
- Library from aladdin to access de eToken
(/usr/lib//usr/lib/libeTPkcs11.so)
- a X509 Cert inside the eToken, along private and public keys (that
cannot be exported. The eToken has to sign all data itself)

Using openssl, ive been able to sign digest using :
openssl dgst -engine pkcs11  -keyform engine -sign
<id-of-the-key-inside-token> xmlfile.xml

It seems to work, as it ask to enter the etoken password and output some
raw data.

I havent been able to make xmlsec use openssl this way, so the token can
do the signing of the document.

Any ideas ?
