Installing Sybase PKCS #11 into Netscape 4.0x

Start Netscape 4.0x, then:

  1. Select Communicator | Security Info from the window. Or, you can click the Security icon (the padlock) in the tool bar.

  2. Click on Cryptographic Modules.

  3. Click Add. You see a new dialog, Create a New Security Module.

  4. For Security Module Name, enter “Sybase PKCS”.

  5. For Security Module File, type the full path to your libjsybcki file, then click OK. For example, on Windows, enter:

    i:\Program Files\Sybase\Jaguar CTS\dll\libjsybcki.dll

    On UNIX, enter:

    /work/JagPKS/lib/libjsybcki_r.so

  6. You should see a prompt asking for a Sybase password or PIN. Enter “sybase”. If you do not see this prompt, verify the path to the DLL/shared object.

  7. After entering the password, you see Sybase PKCS listed as a security module. Click on the Sybase PKCS module, then select View/Edit. A new window, the Edit Security Module window, displays. This window contains controls for the Sybase PKCS module.

  8. Click “More Info” in the new window, and verify that the state is “Ready” in the Token/Slot Information window. Click OK to close the Token/Slot Information window.

  9. You can change the Sybase PKCS module password by clicking Change Password in the Edit Security Module window. Click OK to close this window.

    When both EAServer and Netscape run on the same machine, they share Sybase PKCS #11 database files. If you change the PIN, you must use the new PIN when you log in to either EAServer or Netscape. Sybase suggests that you change your PIN through EAServer Manager | Certificates folder, which automatically propagates the PIN changes to the security profiles. If you change the PIN through Netscape, you must also change the PIN in all of the security profiles; otherwise EAServer secure listeners using those security profiles may not start the next time you restart the server. See “Changing the user PIN” for information about changing the PIN in EAServer Manager | Certificates folder.

    If you modify the PIN through EAServer Manager | Certificates folder, you need to restart Netscape for the changes to take effect. If you modify the PIN through Netscape, while the server is running, shut down and restart the server. Supply the new PIN to connect to EAServer Manager | Certificates folder.
