The PKCS#11 module load's alright and the certificates on the token are shown.
But, I can't login and can't use the certificates, because the status of the
Security Module stays at uninitialized. When I login, the master password dialog
is shown and when I enter a password and click [OK], the dialog just stays.

important: aladdin RTE v3.51.17
With older Aladdin RTE versions, the problem didn't exist.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install aladdin RTE v3.51.17
(ftp://ftp.ealaddin.com/pub/etoken/enterprise/enterprise/RTE_3_51.MSI)
2. Format the token, install a certificate on the token
3. Startup firefox, load security module (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\eTpkcs11.dll)
4. Click [log in]
5. try to set password in the Master Password Dialog


Actual Results:  
The password can't be set.


Expected Results:  
The Master Password Dialog doesn't have to show, because a password is already
set when formatting the eToken.

Security Module status: Ready

I'm sorry, this workaround is stated in the RTE release notes:

After an eToken is formatted, the eToken PIN is NOT initialized for PKCS#11.
When using Netscape, the user must initialize the eToken or change the eToken
password using eTProperties.
