How to change token label without re-initializing it?

Question

I'm aware of initToken(char[] pin, java.lang.String label) from the IAIK docs. But the function will reset the token and any data in the token would be lost. I just want to change the token label without losing token's content. Is there any way to do it?

Answer 1

There is no standard function in PKCS#11 to change the token label. Thus, it seems that the only way to change the label is re-initialization using C_initToken.
