Smart Card Sharing

Post by variona »

Hi!
I'm running a test converting vmware virtual machines to VirtualBox. It looks quite promising, but I can't find an essential feature, thus my question:
does VirtualBox allow Smart Card Sharing like vmware does? One USB smartcard reader with for example a signature card can be used by multiple guests.

variona, we had quite a long chat over at the IRC channel. Could you summarize the status quo for the benefit of any future reader?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
