             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 at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: fgouget at 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.
