SYSTEM AND METHOD TO REDIRECT HARDWARE SECURE USB STORAGE DEVICES IN HIGH LATENCY VDI ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

In certain information handling system environments, physical devices connected to a client are redirected to a server or other information handling system. Requests to a virtualized hardware secure device may not be accessible due to the latency of the network. A server may request that a locking application of a CDROM driver (or interface) unlock a secured disk interface/logical unit of a redirected hardware secure device. The locking application validates a user entered password. Once unlocked the secured disk interface/logical unit is accessible via an associated file system stack at the server.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a server, a disk arrival notification that a hardware secure universal serial bus (USB) storage device has been coupled to a client; issuing a command by a proxy server to a virtual disk enumerator to create a virtual disk associated with the hardware secure USB storage device; loading a disk driver and compact disk read-only memory (CDROM) driver as interfaces to the virtual disk; loading a file system stack associated with the disk driver; loading a CDROM file system stack associated with the CDROM driver; executing a locking application, wherein the locking application resides in the CDROM driver; receiving by the locking application a hardware secure password; validating by the locking application the hardware secure password; and unlocking a secured disk interface of the virtual disk, based at least in part, on the validating the hardware secure password.
