Hey Mike, I can't think of any way of doing it for coldfusion without either client side software or the ability for coldfusion to map the dongle and read from it... Though one 'workaround' which I leave open for criticism, is to have the login for your app redirect to a local disc (the USB key) eg. u:\login.html
This login.html has a private key in a hidden field that can be submitted via the form along with a password to the coldfusion server? Obviously browser caching and such might be a problem, I don't know, but depending on your workplace might be sufficient.
