Problem with accessing over RDP a Nitrokey HSM2 connected to the Windows' server

[szszszsz]

Hi!

If I understood the problem, you would like to access the server-connected HSM smartcard device, while logged through the RDP.

1. Past thread about that:
   • Nitrokey HSM not recognized on Windows 2016 over RDP
2. As a workaround, would pkcs11-proxy be any help in that case? Example implementations:
   • https://github.com/iksaif/pkcs11-proxy
   • https://github.com/SUNET/pkcs11-proxy
3. Another workaround idea is USB over IP, e.g. Home | VirtualHere
4. Perhaps replacing RDP with VNC would be an option?
5. Finally I would write to Microsoft support asking what is the recommended solution.

In general this is Windows’ designed limitation, and affects all smart cards.

PS For the discoverability of the post, I suggest to move to a new thread with this question (and in general any logically separated one). Otherwise less users will see it due to ignoring the previous topic.
