[Spice-devel] [PATCH v2] Provide support for using the passthru smartcard mode in libcacard.

Jeremy White jwhite at codeweavers.com
Wed Jan 21 13:05:56 PST 2015


Add an optional args parameter to the --spice-smartcard which
will be passed to vcard_emul_options.

This allows us to deprecate the --smartcard-db and
--smartcard-certificates options as well.

+The optional argument can be:
+  emulnss   (default)
+  passthru
+  [db="<certificate-db>"] soft=(,Spice Software Smartcard,CAC,,cert1,cert2,cert3)
+
+The emulnss option is the default, and will cause the client to use libnss to access
+the card, and then to simulate a CAC card.
+
+The passthru option will cause the client to use pcsclite to access the card,
+and attempt to pass through the raw card data.
+
+The final option is used for testing to simulate a smartcard using certificates.
+
+The certificate-db is an optional path to the location of the certificates;
+the default is /etc/pki/nssdb.  cert1, cert2, and cert3 are certificate names that
+you have previously generated.
+
+See C<http://www.spice-space.org/page/SmartcardUsage#Using_a_software_smartcard>
+for more details about how to generate these certificates.
+
+You can also learn more about these arguments by examining the usage statement
+of the vscclient utility.
