Yes, that was one problem :)

After having done some tests using openssl on Windows, the 
opensc-openssl-engine and the Aladdin etpkcs11.dll i've decided to give Linux  
and the Aladdin middleware a last try, since i would like to manage the PKI 
using Linux:

- my first setup using the Aladdin Linux middleware was not successful, 
because of a "hanging" etkcinit respectively etkcdump. The problem was an old 
version of libpcsclite1

- after installing a newer release and creating a symlink from 
libpcsclite-1.so to libpcsclite-0.so (a component of the Linux Middleware 
needs the "old" library) the problem was gone, and openssl was able to use 
the opensc-pkcs11-engine and the proprietary Aladdin pkcs11-module.

After formatting the token using the etkcinit-application, generating a key 
and storing a certificate on the token, even OpenVPN running on Windows was 
able to enumerate the objects on the token. (using etpkcs11.dll of course)

After that step the eToken worked like a charm, and is fully interoperable 
among Windows and Linux.

So my last wish is to instruct OpenVPN to not ask for a pin, since i would 
like to use the OpenVPN-GUI, which (at the moment) isn't able to request one 
via a GUI dialog. Maybe this is possible by simply not supplying a user pin 
on token initialization, but i've to try that.

After all, thank you very much, Alon for your help! If you need a tester for 
new implementations or other interoperability details i would be glad to 
help.

Best Regards, 
Robert
