Original Question:
I recently initialized a Safenet (Aladdin) eToken using pkcs11-tool and generated a keypair for it. I can see the keypair when using pkcs11-tool, but Java refuses to see it either via keytool or using the KeyStore API.

$pkcs11 --module /lib64/libeToken.so.8 --login -O
Using slot 0 with a present token (0x0)
Logging in to "one".
Please enter User PIN:
Private Key Object; RSA
  label:      onekey
  Usage:      decrypt, sign, unwrap
Public Key Object; RSA 2048 bits
  label:      onekey
  Usage:      encrypt, verify, wrap

however, using KeyTool:

$ cat ../../../config
description = PKCS11TestProvider - libeToken 8
name = PKCS11TestProvider
library = /lib64/libeToken.so.8
$
$ keytool -keystore NONE -storetype PKCS11 -providerClass sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 -providerArg ../../../config -list
Enter keystore password:

Keystore type: PKCS11
Keystore provider: SunPKCS11-PKCS11TestProvider

Your keystore contains 0 entries

        .withDescription("PKCS11TestProvider - libeToken 8")
        .withName("PKCS11TestProvider")
        .withLibrary("/lib64/libeToken.so.8").build();
    Security.addProvider(provider);
    KeyStore.CallbackHandlerProtection pinHandler = new KeyStore.CallbackHandlerProtection(new TextCallbackHandler());
    KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.Builder.newInstance("PKCS11",provider,pinHandler).getKeyStore();
    Enumeration<String> keyAliases = keyStore.aliases();


    while(keyAliases.hasMoreElements()){
      String alias = keyAliases.nextElement();
      System.out.println(keyStore.getEntry(alias, pinHandler));
    }

  }
}

Edit: I have Safenet Authentication Client 8 (SAC) installed, per eToken java keytool certificates . This is where libeToken.so.8 is from.


Incorporating Jariq's answer.

I removed the keypair and generated a new set with ID's associated. I then installed libengine-pkcs11-openssl to get OpenSSL's PKCS11 engine and followed the configuration in /usr/share/doc/libengine-pkcs11-openssl/html/wiki/QuickStart.html to alter openssl.conf to include the required engine configuration.

The token now looks like:

$ pkcs11 -O
Using slot 0 with a present token (0x0)
Logging in to "one".
Please enter User PIN:
Private Key Object; RSA
  label:      onekey
  ID:         01
  Usage:      decrypt, sign, unwrap
Public Key Object; RSA 2048 bits
  label:      onekey
  ID:         01
  Usage:      encrypt, verify, wrap
Certificate Object, type = X.509 cert
  label:      onekey
  ID:         01

Using Keytool:

$ keytool -storetype PKCS11 -providerClass sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 -providerArg ../../../config -list
Enter keystore password:

Keystore type: PKCS11
Keystore provider: SunPKCS11-PKCS11TestProvider

Your keystore contains 1 entry

Solution

According to my observations SunPKCS11 provider enumerates only keys that are associated with the X.509 certificate. So you would need to generate at least a self-signed certificate and import it to the token. If you want to verify that my answer is correct take a look at "Appendix B: Sun PKCS#11 provider's KeyStore Requirements" section "Read-Only Access" step "5".
