WebAuthn / smartcard passthrough not working

WebAuthn / smartcard passthrough not working

I utilize Resident OpenSSH keys to connect to all of my Linux servers, and have a use case where I must run an application on a Windows Virtual Machine which will then connect from that VM into various Linux servers.

In my previous workflows I was locally using a Windows client to connect over standard RDP, and then when utilizing my Resident SSH keys in the remote application the VM was able to see the local Yubikey and utilize it for connectivity without any issues. This worked as long as webauthn and smartcard passthrough were enabled in the mstsc client.

I need to perform that exact same workflow but using RDM on Linux as the local client. I can't get the VM to detect that any smartcard or webauthn devices are present, so I cannot utilize them for authentication on the remote VM. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Devolutions Support.

Could you please confirm whether the Smart cards or Windows Hello for Business option is enabled in your RDP entry properties?
I believe this is the setting you're looking for.

You can find it under:
Entry Properties → RDP → Local Devices and Resources

Please let me know if enabling this option resolves the issue.
If the problem persists, could you also provide the following information?

  • A screenshot of the Local Devices and Resources settings on your side.
  • The exact version of Remote Desktop Manager for Linux you are using.
  • The type of workspace you are connecting to (for example, Devolutions Server, Devolutions Cloud, or another data source), along with its version if applicable.


I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,
