Yubico Forum

Hi all,

I am struggling getting the authenticator to work on a linux VM in the Virtualbox.
The u2f and otp are working fine on the virtual machine but the yubico apps (authenticator, manager, configuration tools) doesn't see the key. I tried to create the filters but still no luck. The same is for my Yubikey 4..
Is there any way how to get the key fully working on the vm?

Thanks!

I just installed VirtualBox on Windows 10 x64, loaded a Linux Mint VM (17.1), and I'm able to use the Yubico apps (NEO Manager, Yubico Authenticator). The only thing I did was install the VirtualBox Extension Pack. Perhaps it's the host OS you're running the VM from?

After installing the Linux Mint VM, I...

(1) updated with

Code:

sudo apt-get update

(2) added the Yubico PPA with

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yubico/stable

(3) updated with

Code:

sudo apt-get update

(4) installed YubiKey NEO Manager with

Code:

sudo apt-get install yubikey-neo-manager

(5) installed Yubico Authenticator with

Code:

sudo apt-get install yubioath-desktop

(6) installed pcscd with

Code:

sudo apt-get install pcscd

(7) added the udev rules and patched libccid with

Code:

sudo sh -c 'wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yubico/yubikey-neo-manager/master/resources/linux-fix-ccid-udev | python'

(8) restarted Linux Mint

Both of the apps see the YubiKey and work now. The same steps would work in Ubuntu 14.04 +:

Thanks!

This worked. I have been obviously missing the udev part of the installation.
