Re: [Xen-users] PKCS#11 passthrough for Smartcards

Hi,

As far as I am aware this isn't supported - it would require a
paravirtualised backend to be possible. I think I have seen you
request it a few times and noone is yet to reply. You could try the
xen-devel list to see if anyone has been working on one but once
again, I doubt it.
Have you had any luck with KVM or the other hypervisors? This seems
like a much more "desktop" feature so you might be better off looking
at a less server consolidation oriented hypervisor if that makes
sense.

Joseph.
