There is a log-in error using "cryptoki.dll" using the Pkcs11 library

Question

    static Module pkcs11Module = Module.getInstance(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\SafeNet\Protect Toolkit 5\Protect Toolkit C SDK\bin\sw\cryptoki.dll");
    public HsmManager()
    {
        try
        {              
            pkcs11Module.initialize(null);
            Slot[] terminals = pkcs11Module.getSlotList(true);
            Slot s;
            Token token = terminals[0].Token;
            Session session = token.openSession(false, false, null, null);
            char[] pass = new char[] { '1', '2', '3', '4' };
            session.login(true, pass);}}

I do the sealing process with the hsm device in c # with the pkcs11 library (without using any other library). The error message is Message ="CKR_USER_PIN_NOT_INITIALIZED " What's wrong? Thanks

I don't know nothing about cryptoki, but I'll try to answer:

Take a look at PKCS#11 standard.

CKR_USER_PIN_NOT_INITIALIZED: This value can only be returned by C_Login. It indicates that the normal user’s PIN has not yet been initialized with C_InitPIN.

In other words, your token has no PIN.

Try to initialize the PIN or try sending a null PIN in login call (maybe "there is some way for a user to be authenticated to the token without having the application send a PIN through the Cryptoki library")
