Craig commented:


The simplest fix would be to simply translate GNUTLS_E_PKCS11_PIN_ERROR into GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED where my patch calls _gnutls_retrieve_pin.  Though, it would be unfortunate to mask that error in the case one of the pin callbacks actually returns that error.

A better fix would be to only call _gnutls_retrieve_pin if a pin callback is actually registered.  I don't see a clean way of doing that without duplicating the callback existence checks that exist in _gnutls_retrieve_pin...

Yet another option would be to modify _gnutls_retrieve_pin to take another argument representing the error code it should return when no callbacks are registered...

Thoughts?
