204516 - NSS_Shutdown does not clean up resources

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(NSS :: Libraries, defect)

Description

[thomask]

NSS_Shutdown does not call appropriate PKCS#11 call to
close up sessions and clean up resources.

Comment 1

[Wan-Teh Chang]

I seem to recall that NSS_Shutdown does call the
appropriate PKCS#11 call to close up sessions and
clean up resources.  The problem is that some
resources are held in the server-side SSL session
ID cache, and there is no way to free those resource
until NSS 3.7.4 or 3.8 (the new function
SSL_ShutdownServerSessionIDCache).

I will let Bob give the authoritative answer.

Bug 199082 was the RFE for SSL_ShutdownServerSessionIDCache.

Comment 3

[thomask]

Want to ask if NSS_Shutdown will call C_Finalize.

Comment 4

[Robert Relyea]

NSS_Shutdown() will call C_Finalize, but only if the application has freed all it's NSS 
resouces associated with the token. You can get an indication of this by checking the 
return code from NSS_Shutdown().

Shutdown does call the appropriate PKCS #11 calls if the application has freed
all of it's NSS references.
