Then, we need to reload udev so that it will load the new rules provided by the libccid package: (This will also install libccid, the library which happens to support my reader.) First, we need to install `pcscd` the PC/SC Daemon. Now that we have our device attached, we need to do a few more things to be able to use it with GnuPG.

Welcome to your Vagrant-built virtual machine. If we `vagrant up` with this Vagrantfile, plug in our device, and `vagrant ssh` into the VM, we should be able to see it: nfigure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config| Where the `–vendorid`(e.g.`0x08e6`) and `–productid` (`0x3438`) come from the listing for our device we found above. # Add usb filter to attach SmartCard reader Now that we have the VendorId and ProductId, we can add a ‘usbfilter’ as a () to our Vagrantfile: Here’s what the entry for my Smartcard looks like: Make note of the `VendorId` and `ProductId`. The most convenient one, in my opinion, is to use a “usbfilter” to automatically connect the device to our guest whenever it is attached to the host.Īttach the device to the host and run `VBoxManage list usbhost` to get a detailed description of all of the USB devices attached to the host. Next we need to connect our USB device to our VM.

After a bit of research, I found an easy way to do this with Vagrant, VirtualBox, and the standard precise64 basebox.įirst, we need to download and install () (version 1.4.1 at the time of this writing), and () (version 4.3.8 at the time of this writing). Since I use a Mac and (), I needed to find a way to connect my Smartcard reader to a virtual machine running Ubuntu. In order to host packages on a Launchpad PPA, one must first upload _signed_ source packages. Lately, I’ve been working on setting up a Personal Package Archive (()) to use when provisioning servers with custom packages.
