- Around line 61-64: Update the certNickname delegation in JSSSocketFactory so
delegated SSLSocketFactory.createLayeredSocket connections also use
JSSTrustManager with connection.getConfig().isCertRevocationVerify(). Apply the
shared trust-manager/revocation initialization before delegation or within
SSLSocketFactory, preserving identical validation behavior for both paths.

I think there is a problem in the approach I have commented (it is identified also by coderabbit).
Additionally, if the resolve(..) method could be part of the ClientConfig with a name like getQualifiedCertNickname() then it would be enough to replace the method call in the socket factories. However, you can leave as it is, this is just a preference.

This approach to create the socket without configuring the context could create a socket working differently. It has default trustmanager and could be from a different provider (no JSS) if configured in the JVM.
I think this has to be reverted and the cert name fixed later.

Changed approach.
I dug deeper in debug mode in JSSSocketFactory and the problem there is different from the SSLSocketFactory one and has nothing to do with qualified nicknames, here the trigger is during handshake
JSSTrustManager -> getAcceptedIssuers() -> CryptoManager.getCACerts() -> walks all PKCS#11 modules.
That unscoped getCACerts always walks all modules and there is no getCACerts(token) alternative.
I tested various alternatives, the one committed is the only one I feel comfortable proposing, and it still would benefit from a second pair of eyes.
I implemented a custom JSSTrustManager that only rewrites getAcceptedIssuers() to use CryptoStore.getCertificates() instead of the global CryptoManager.getCACerts(), and that triggers only NSS db.
At first I thought it was enough, but KRA-kryoptic tests were failing for trusting CA only available in HSM partitions. I then added a search on all configured tokens and the test failed on later stage during KRA transport cert enrollment, when the CA calls itself for security-domain token auth. That outbound call uses a bare ClientConfig (URL only - no --token, no password.conf). Instead of fixing the init of ClientConfig in TokenAuthentication.java to add the token, I preferred including already logged-in PKCS#11 tokens to the sources for getAcceptedIssuers(), thinking it will cover more situations that were leveraging the full scan of CryptoManager.getCACerts() in the same way.
It might be a good idea to open an issue in JSS project, independently from the validity of this fix.

In `@base/common/src/main/java/org/dogtagpki/client/JSSSocketFactory.java`:
- Line 108: In the socket-creation flow, resolve the certificate nickname via
connection.getConfig().getQualifiedCertNickname() before invoking
socketFactory.createSocket(...), so IOException during nickname resolution
occurs before any socket is connected. Keep the existing nickname usage
unchanged after successful resolution.
- Line 70: Add cross-token trust-anchor test coverage around JSSSocketFactory
and its trustManager configuration: configure the client key on one HSM token
and the server CA trust anchor on another, then verify checkServerTrusted()
accepts the TLS connection when tokenName is set. Preserve existing same-token
behavior and use the established test setup utilities.

When multiple PKCS#11 tokens are visible via p11-kit-proxy, pki -n <nickname> prompted for a password on every token even if the client cert and key live in the internal NSS DB. Resolve unqualified nicknames to the owning token before client-auth, and use the SSLSocket client-cert path when a nickname is configured. DOGTAG-4580

Actually I prefer certNickname for the variable name. It is the same as in JSSSocketFactory and include the information it is referring to a certificate. Is there a reason for the change?

When
pki -n <nickname>is used for TLS client authentication, the defaultJSSSocketFactorypasses an unqualified nickname to NSS. NSS then searchesevery PKCS #11 slot visible through
p11-kit-proxy, prompting for passwordson unrelated HSM partitions even when the client cert/key live in the internal
NSS database.
--tokendoes not prevent this because the SSL client-auth pathdoes not use the thread token for cert selection.
Qualify the nickname with the configured key-storage token name (default
internal) before callingsetClientCertNickname(), using the token'sactual NSS name from
CryptoUtil.getKeyStorageToken(). When a clientcertificate is configured (
-n), delegate fromJSSSocketFactorytoSSLSocketFactory, which sets the qualified nickname onorg.mozilla.jss.ssl.SSLSocket.Tested manually in a container with SoftHSM tokens exposed via
p11-kit-proxy:pki -n caadminno longer prompts on HSM tokens.DOGTAG-4580
