kvm - mount usb device in windows guest



hi all,

for a certain web application i need an IE browser with an usb device containing a security key (the USB is formatted as a isofs)

my idea was to simply run a windows copy on a server with KVM, logon with RDP and use that to connect to that dreaded website, it all works except that i can't see a way to mount a USB, i thought it would be simple to:
create an image (+- 1GB)
have it attached as usb within the guest
have the contents of the original usb copied to the image


can't get it done using virt-manager and can find little info to edit the xml file as such.

again, i'm not looking to mount the original USB via passthrough, just to have a virtual/fake usb drive mimicking the behavior as originally intended.

anybody has a clue?
