Yubico Forum

I have created a new project http://code.google.com/p/yubikey-personalization-mac/ for a Mac Personalization Tool. It doesn't do anything yet except display the UI. Once I get the back end code or it is integrated into the official project I will slowly integrate it.

PS. Anyone know how to add a screen shot to the Google Code project summary.

Thanks for all input

Can anyone with VMWare try to unplug and then insert the key again while the OS/VM is running and see what happens ? Does the key gets enumerated right away and then appears in the list of HID devices ?

I have a slight suspicion that there is something related to that since the 1.3.3 keys gets enumerated by the BIOS. Assuming that the Yubikey is initialized and setup when the OS starts vs. the OS initializing the key from scratch (which is the case from 1.3.2 and earlier) may cause some trouble...

Jakob is correct, this is because the yubikey is recognized as a system HID now.

VMware will magically start seeing the yubikey again (and probably your other USB keyboards too) if you add:


to your .vmx files and start the VM again.

Thank you ferrix for providing such a valuable piece of information !

We modified the .vmx file and the YubiKey was recognized by the guest operating system. We can now program YubiKeys using the personalization utility installed in the guest operating system.
