Description

SpiceSmartcardManager monitors smartcard reader plugging/unplugging, and smartcard insertions/removals. It also provides methods to handle software smartcards (to emulate a smartcard reader/smartcard on the guest using 3 certificates available to the client).

Functions

spice_smartcard_manager_get ()

SpiceSmartcardManager *
spice_smartcard_manager_get (void);

SpiceSmartcardManager is a singleton, use this function to get a pointer to it. A new SpiceSmartcardManager instance will be created the first time this function is called

Returns

a weak reference to the SpiceSmartcardManager.

spice_smartcard_manager_get_readers ()

GList *
spice_smartcard_manager_get_readers (SpiceSmartcardManager *manager);

Gets the list of smartcard readers that are currently available, they can be either software (emulated) readers, or hardware ones.

Parameters

manager

a SpiceSmartcardManager

Returns

a newly allocated list of SpiceSmartcardReader instances, or NULL if none were found. When no longer needed, the list must be freed after unreferencing its elements with g_boxed_free().

spice_smartcard_manager_insert_card ()

gboolean
spice_smartcard_manager_insert_card (SpiceSmartcardManager *manager);

Simulates the insertion of a smartcard in the guest. Valid certificates must have been set in “smartcard-certificates” for software smartcard support to work. At the moment, only one software smartcard reader is supported, that's why there is no parameter to indicate which reader to insert the card in.

Parameters

manager

a SpiceSmartcardManager

Returns

TRUE if smartcard insertion was successfully simulated, FALSE if this failed, or if software smartcard support isn't enabled.

Since: 0.20

spice_smartcard_manager_remove_card ()

gboolean
spice_smartcard_manager_remove_card (SpiceSmartcardManager *manager);

Simulates the removal of a smartcard in the guest. At the moment, only one software smartcard reader is supported, that's why there is no parameter to indicate which reader to insert the card in.

Parameters

manager

a SpiceSmartcardManager

Returns

TRUE if smartcard removal was successfully simulated, FALSE if this failed, or if software smartcard support isn't enabled.

Since: 0.20

spice_smartcard_reader_is_software ()

gboolean
spice_smartcard_reader_is_software (SpiceSmartcardReader *reader);

Tests if reader is a software (emulated) smartcard reader.

Parameters

reader

a SpiceSmartcardReader

Returns

TRUE if reader is a software (emulated) smartcard reader, FALSE otherwise

spice_smartcard_reader_insert_card ()

gboolean
spice_smartcard_reader_insert_card (SpiceSmartcardReader *reader);

Simulates insertion of a smartcard in the software smartcard reader reader . If reader is not a software smartcard reader, FALSE will be returned.

Parameters

reader

a SpiceSmartcardReader

Returns

TRUE if insertion of a card was successfully simulated, FALSE otherwise

spice_smartcard_reader_remove_card ()

gboolean
spice_smartcard_reader_remove_card (SpiceSmartcardReader *reader);

Simulates removal of a smartcard from the software smartcard reader reader . If reader is not a software smartcard reader, FALSE will be returned.

Parameters

reader

a SpiceSmartcardReader

Returns

TRUE if removal of a card was successfully simulated, FALSE otherwise

Signal Details

The `“card-inserted”` signal

void
user_function (SpiceSmartcardManager *manager,
               VReader               *vreader,
               gpointer               user_data)

The “card-inserted” signal is emitted whenever a smartcard is inserted in a reader

Parameters

manager	the SpiceSmartcardManager that emitted the signal
vreader	VReader boxed object corresponding to the reader a new card was inserted in
user_data	user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Flags: Run First

The `“card-removed”` signal

void
user_function (SpiceSmartcardManager *manager,
               VReader               *vreader,
               gpointer               user_data)

The “card-removed” signal is emitted whenever a smartcard was removed from a reader.

Parameters
