The softhsm is only a key container which doesn't know anything about
what are you doing with the keys.

The association key <-> zone is done in the KASP db, so when using
OpenDNSSEC you can get the details you look for using ods-ksmutil

where the CKA_ID is stored. I don't have a BIND signer at hand to check.


I hope it helps,
