libcacard: improve documentation
Using the file-backed smartcard backend is black magic, but it can be useful if your only smartcard bricks itself if it is accessed the wrong way too many times. Complete the documentation to include the art of creating certificates and using them with QEMU, based on Ray Strode's useful tutorial at https://blogs.gnome.org/halfline/2013/09/08/another-smartcard-post/ but with ccid-card-emulated or vscclient instead of SPICE.

|

You must create the CA and card certificates. This is a one time process.
|
||||
We use NSS certificates:
|
||||
|

mkdir fake-smartcard
|

cd fake-smartcard
|
||||
certutil -N -d sql:$PWD
|

|
||||
|
||||
Note: you must have exactly three certificates.
|
||||
|

Assuming the current user can access the certificates (use certutil -L to
|
||||
verify), you can use the emulated card type with the certificates backend:

You can use the emulated card type with the certificates backend:

qemu -usb -device usb-ccid -device ccid-card-emulated,backend=certificates,db=sql:$PWD,cert1=id-cert,cert2=signing-cert,cert3=encryption-cert
|
||||
|
||||
To use the certificates in the guest, export the CA certificate:
|
||||
|
||||
certutil -L -r -d sql:$PWD -o fake-smartcard-ca.cer -n fake-smartcard-ca
|
||||
|
||||
and import it in the guest:
|
||||
|
||||
certutil -A -d /etc/pki/nssdb -i fake-smartcard-ca.cer -t TC,TC,TC -n fake-smartcard-ca
|
||||
|
||||
In a Linux guest you can then use the CoolKey PKCS #11 module to access
|
||||
the card:
|
||||
|
||||
certutil -d /etc/pki/nssdb -L -h all
|
||||
|
||||
It will prompt you for the PIN (which is the password you assigned to the
|
||||
certificate database early on), and then show you all three certificates
|
||||
together with the manually imported CA cert:
|
||||
|
||||
Certificate Nickname Trust Attributes
|
||||
fake-smartcard-ca CT,C,C
|

John Doe:CAC ID Certificate u,u,u
|

John Doe:CAC Email Signature Certificate u,u,u
|

John Doe:CAC Email Encryption Certificate u,u,u
|

|

If this does not happen, CoolKey is not installed or not registered with
|
||||
NSS. Registration can be done from Firefox or the command line:
