Recently replaced my smart card with a NIST SP 800-73 smart card. The new card reads on the host, but times out in my Windows 10 VM guest. I am using VMware Workstation 15.1.0 build-13591040.
I've tried forcing passthrough with the following 2 ilnes in my vmx file, but the smart card still times out:
usb.generic.allowCCID = "TRUE"
usb.ccid.disable = "TRUE"
The reader is recognized in the vmware.log as:
vmx| I125: USB: Found device [name:Realtek\ USB2.0-CRW vid:0bda pid:0169 path:1/0/0/12 speed:high family:storage,storage-bulk,smart-card virtPath:ehci:0 instanceId:USB\\VID_0BDA&PID_0169\\20070818000000000 serialnum:20070818000000000 arbRuntimeKey:15 ownerdisplay:Windows\ 10\ Pro version:3], connected to ehci port 0.
The Windows drivers for both the reader and the card are the same in the host and guest, but Windows event viewer shows the following errors when reading the card in the vm:
Error WudfUsbccidDrv Event ID 1
A Request has returned failure.
MsgType: 0x80
ICCStatus: 0x0
CmdStatus: 0x1
Error: 0xFE
SW1: 0x0
SW2: 0x0
Error WudfUsbccidDrv Event ID 11
An operation has failed (0x3, 0x3, 0x40, 0xFE).
ScCardPowerColdReset: IccPowerOnStatusError
HResult: {Device Timeout}
The specified I/O operation on %hs was not completed before the time-out period expired.
Any ideas for troubleshooting?
