aladdin etoken exception on windows 7

862704May 18 2011 — edited Jun 9 2011

I have an applet that I use for signing. I also use aladdin etoken smartcard or usb. It works perfectly on windows 2000, xp but in windows 7 i get the following exception:

The code where i load the etoken dll is the following:

PKCS11Provider = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(new ByteArrayInputStream(generatePKCS11ConfigFile().getBytes()));	
String eIDProviderName = PKCS11Provider.getName();
Security.addProvider(PKCS11Provider);
				
// load eID card (keystore)
//you don't need yet to provide a password (You might use only the public key from it)
//If you try to use the private key, a window asking for the pin will popup
char[] pin = "".toCharArray();
                
KeyStore.ProtectionParameter pp = new KeyStore.PasswordProtection(pin);
               
CallbackHandler cmdLineHdlr = new com.sun.security.auth.callback.DialogCallbackHandler();
KeyStore.Builder builder = KeyStore.Builder.newInstance(
    									    "PKCS11",
    									    PKCS11Provider,
    									    new KeyStore.CallbackHandlerProtection(cmdLineHdlr));
            
keyStore = builder.getKeyStore();        *///in this line the exception is thrown*
keyStore.load(null, pin);


protected String generatePKCS11ConfigFile(){
		System.out.println("in generatePKCS11ConfigFile");
		
		String os = System.getProperty("os.name");
		System.out.println("os: "+os);
		
		if(os.contains("Windows")) {
			if(os.contains("Windows 9"))
				configDir = System.getenv("WinDir");
			else
				configDir = System.getenv("SystemRoot");
		}
		
		
		String content = "name=eToken"+"\n"+"library="+configDir+"\\system32\\eTPKCS11.dll";
		System.out.println("content: "+content);
		
		return content;
}
