Bug #: 31783 Summary: Add VMs with a virtual smart card reader Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: fgouget@codeweavers.com Classification: Unclassified
Bruno Jesus reported that having at least some VMs with a virtual smart card reader would be useful in getting smartcard support in Wine.
* One way would be through Windows software that provides a virtual smartcard device. If you know of such software please provide pointers below.
* Another option would be to do it through QEmu/Libvirt's support for smartcard devices. However this seems to require plugging in a real smartcard reader into the host... Given that smartcard readers can often plug into a USB port this may be possible, but again with a rack-mounted server it may not.
* QEmu/Libvirt also supports a 'host-certificate' mode for the smartcard reader. It's not clear if that negates the need for a real smartcard reader.

--- Comment #2 from François Gouget fgouget@codeweavers.com --- I downloaded vsmartcard/vsmartcard-2012-04-11_win32.zip however it was not clear to me how this should be set up. So I skipped it.

--- Comment #3 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com --- This is how I did to test:
Download Bix Virtual SmartCard driver from: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/134010/An-UMDF-Driver-for-a-Virtual-Smar... Card-Reader (requires free registration)
Download devcon.exe from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272/
The driver comes in 3 pre-compiled flavours: * Win XP 32 bits * Win 7 32 bits * Win 7 64 bits
Put devcon.exe inside the folder where you want to install the driver and then:
devcon install BixVReader.inf root\BixVirtualReader
Then it's possible to see the reader in the Smart Card Reader section inside Windows Device Manager.

--- Comment #4 from François Gouget fgouget@codeweavers.com --- Jeremy bought four SCR 3310 card readers and attached one to each of the VM hosts: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2015-September/109305.html
Now I suspect they still need to be connected to the relevant VMs, somehow. Once done we will have to make sure we never start two VMs that use the card reader at the same time (in the short term, as long as we keep the TestBot configured to run at most one VM at any time we're fine but eventually we'll need something better).

--- Comment #6 from François Gouget fgouget@codeweavers.com --- The TestBot is being deprecated so this will not be implemented. That may be something to request of the GitLab CI (but I don't know what the place would be for such requests, maybe the wine-devel mailing list as a start?).
