Hello I'm trying to access the keystore from my smartcard in Java. And I'm using the following code..

I'm using the Pkcs11 implementation of OpenSc http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc

File windows.cnf = 

name=dnie
library=C:\WINDOWS\system32\opensc-pkcs11.dll

Java Code =

String configName = "windows.cnf"
 String PIN = "####";
 Provider p = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(configName);
 Security.addProvider(p);
 KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS11", "SunPKCS11-dnie");  =)(= 
 char[] pin = PIN.toCharArray();
 keyStore.load(null, pin);

When the execution goes by the line with =)(= throws me the following exception 

java.security.KeyStoreException: PKCS11 not found

    at java.security.KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.java:635)
    at ObtenerDatos.LeerDatos(ObtenerDatos.java:52)
    at ObtenerDatos.obtenerNombre(ObtenerDatos.java:19)
    at main.main(main.java:27)
Caused by: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: no such algorithm: PKCS11 for provider SunPKCS11-dnie
        at sun.security.jca.GetInstance.getService(GetInstance.java:70)
        at sun.security.jca.GetInstance.getInstance(GetInstance.java:190)
        at java.security.Security.getImpl(Security.java:662)
        at java.security.KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.java:632)

I think the problem is "SunPKCS11-dnie", but I don't know to put there. I had tried with a lot of combinations...

Anyone can help me...

I was also getting the error as below:

Caused by: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: no such algorithm: PKCS11 for provider SunPKCS11

I am running the application from a jar through bat file.

I bat file I replaced the code : java - jar sign.jar with code: java -Djava.security.debug=sunpkcs11,pkcs11 -jar SigningUtility.jar

And it solved the issue.
