Bug Description
gnutls26 is supposed to support specifying a "pinfile" when using PKCS#11 devices, in order to not need to type the PIN (often a trivial well-known entity like "000000") directly e.g. for use in daemons.
p11-kit changed its handling of pinfile and gnutls needs to be patched for this.
Without a small change, pinfiles are completely unsupported and PINs must be input directly for every use.
The change in the attached patch restores the original functionality from before p11-kit changed, making it at least work for files as documented in http://
The same patch, with small modification, can also be applied to gnutls28.
