Hi,
Digicert provides a document signing certificate via a USB token. Can we use this token with a VM via the USB passthrough mode?
I referred this KB
Just wanted to know if anybody has actually tried something like this?

Since USB dongles for e.g. software protection are supported (see: VMware KB: Supported USB device models for passthrough from an ESX or ESXi host to a virtual machine) it might work for your token, too.
Just give it a try.
We had a non virtualized environment earlier which was used for document signing, But now the cert has expired.
Since we have moved to using VMs now, I just wanted to make sure before buying a new cert
From my understanding those Digicert tokens are protected (and probably encrypted) read-only USB keys/thumbdrives. So this should work, I guess.
But Digicert's webpages are VERY slow at the moment (at least for me).
