Description
As far as I glimsed into the PKCS11 PR, PKCS11 should be supported by now.
However I'm unable to actually use it. Currently I'm using PuttyCAC with a Smartcard, so the actual CAPI setup seems to work.
The help of ssh sais to use -I pkcs11 where pkcs11 (probably?) is the path to the pkcs11 dll.
I'm not sure if a compliant dll comes with the Windows installation or if addition tools like OpenSC need to be installed. In any case: I so far was unable to use the feature.
Could you please document how to use the PKCS11 interface on Windows and provide an working example how to use it with the CAPI and/or a smartcard?
