Salutations
I have a specific issue that I cannot find much help on so hoping this great community can help me.
I have a physical Windows 10 client that I stick my yubikey into. The workstation can detect the key (verified through device manager) and I then RDP on to a
windows 2019 server that has the Yubikey manager software. That vmware VM (ESXs - vsphere) cannot detect the key.
Just to be clear, I do not want to use the yubikey for authentication, I just want it to appear on the remote windows VM so I can run the yubikey manager software
to start enrollment.
I have found 1 useful guide = https://queensidecastle.com/guides/use-a-yubikey-remotely-over-rdp
but it still did not work for me. For those who do not want to read the link I did the following
Workstation
Enabled - Allow RDP redirection of other supported RemoteFX USB devices from this computer
Updated the Registry with the Class GUID of the Yubikey (Series 5 NFC) - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\Client\UsbSelectDeviceByInterfaces]
Remote Windows Server
Disabled - Do not allow supported Plug and Play device redirection
On the workstation I can see the Yubikey but not on the VM.
Any suggestions? I may have gone off tangent and started looking at ESXi USB pass through but that is if I want to stick the yubikey in the ESXi host I believe?
Thanks
