(The more descriptive your answer, the faster we are able to help you)
We are attempting to sign/certify documents with AATL compatible certs, but it seems like the only document signing certs come on USB drives or HSMs.

How can you interact with these to get the .pfx file/buffer required for signing & certifying programmatically with the CertifyOnNextSave/SignOnNextSave func? The servers hosting our application will not have direct access to the USB/HSM drive.

Is this only possible on windows? Would it work with a cloud HSM?
