Yes, that's possible. However, default VMware policy is, not to pass HID devices to VMs. You can change that by editing the VM's .vmx file adding

Code:

usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE"

and reboot the VM. The yubikey will then appear as a (one of) "unknown" devices that can be attached.

Yubikey NEO Javacard applet and VMWare Fusion

Is it possible to utilise my Javacard configuration (gpg key) on a virtual machine running on my MacBook via VMWare Fusion?

The VM is a ubuntu 12.04 desktop image and I don't see my Yubikey register at all via dmesg but pressing the button causes the generation of a OTP.

When I plug a normal thumb drive in, it is automatically detected and passed through to the Ubuntu VM and I can see ubuntu initialising the drive in dmesg.
