MacOS 15.2 pkcs11 provider will not initiallize.

The latest install of Yubihsm SDK version 2024-09 for Darwin Arm64 running on an M2 Pro-based Mac will not initialize the pkcs11 provider for Java.

keytool -keystore NONE -storetype PKCS11 -providerClass sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 -providerArg /usr/local/yubihsm/sun_yubihsm2_pkcs11.conf -list -J-Djava.security.debug=sunpkcs11

SunPKCS11 loading /usr/local/yubihsm/sun_yubihsm2_pkcs11.conf
sunpkcs11: Initializing PKCS#11 library /usr/local/lib/pkcs11/yubihsm_pkcs11.dylib
keytool error: java.security.ProviderException: Initialization failed

I have tried OpenJDk 17, Corretto 17, and Corretto 11 for Java releases, and they all give the same error.

@medhost-nwatson Sincere apologies for the very late response.

Was the issue resolved?

[medhost-nwatson]

No Worries. No, I never resolved it with the Mac, but it works fine on Windows and Linux, and that's our primary use case, so I hadn't thought it about again for a bit.

One suggestion would be to build it with static dependencies, by specifying -DENABLE_STATIC=1 to cmake, and see if that solves the issue.
