If you're using CFFORM with the ENABLECAB attribute set to "yes", you'll be
prompted to install CFJava.cab when using IE. If you accept the prompt, the
Java applets will be installed permanently on your machine via ActiveX, so
you won't have to download them again in the future. Netscape doesn't
support ActiveX, so you don't get the prompt if you're using Netscape.

I suspect that you're getting the password prompt because you've applied
authentication to your /CFIDE directory, which is where CFJava.cab is
stored.
