Good morning, I'm not using a smartcard; I know we can already do that. One of my customers has a custom proximity magnetic reader that's USB and looks like a serial port. When you swipe the card, you get the hex identification from the card (809c2dfb for example). When you take the card away, you get a NOCARD message page. I need to be able to take that hex identifier and automatically log the user in without the need for them to touch the keyboard! How do??? Thanks! -brian Brian D.
