One test would be to connect another USB device such as a USB thumb drive through the same dongle/adapter and see whether it appears in the USB and Bluetooth menu. I would suspect it might be related to the adapters/dongles. So it would appear the allowCCID = 'TRUE' is not taking effect. = 'TRUE' enables the exclusive mode access to the CCID while = 'TRUE' disables the shared CCID. There is an 'Attach' at the lower right hand side of this reply box. If you don't make any progress, you could also attach the vmx configuration file and/or vmware.log file to help you troubleshoot. Note that the config file may not exist at all, so you just have to create a new text file with that name Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/config Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/config Once you can confirm it works for one VM, you should be able to make it a machine-wide or user-wide configuration (instead of editing each and every VM vmx configuration),

XHCI basically refers to a USB 3.0 controller.Īnd since the default behaviour is shared, make sure that other VMs are also powered off as the Yubikey device would have been enabled also for sharing. I would suggest to remove the entries suggested by the Yubikey article as well as the additional entries xhci entries. Make sure that the VM is powered off/shut down (not suspended) before editing the vmx configuration file. Any suggestions on what changes I need to make to the VM?Īdding the CCID lines should not make the other Apple USB Bluetooth and Apple USB keyboard disappear so it is a bit of head scratcher why it did (unless other powered up VMs have connected to them). Yubico support thinks this is an issue with the VM. This is what I see in the VM:Īs a comparison, this worked on my MacBook Pro 2015 running Mac OS 10.11.6 and VMware Fusion Professional Version 8.5.8 and Windows 2012R2 guest, after configuring the vmx file as per the Yubico website above. I followed Yubico’s instructions for configuring the VM to enable the USB to passthrough as a “non-shared” device (see.

To access the Yubikey on the Windows 2016 guest, the USB port on my Mac needs to passthrough to the guest as a “non-shared” device. I have a Yubikey 4 device (firmware 4.2.8) which I need to configure as a smartcard for interactive logon access to the Windows 2016 guest VM. I am running VMware Fusion Professional 10.1.3 on a MacBook Pro 2017 computer running Mac OS 10.13.4 and Windows 2016 on the guest VM.
