remote authorization

hi,and pls help

i have to set up a remote tomcat web-app to access ejbs on jboss. the ejb methods must be protected, and the login info is only available on the server (probably with a jdbc login module ?). so I have to ask login/password from the user, and login with it into the ejb app. i have a lot of docs and has tryed many things with various error messages, but don't really nkow where to start.
so what is the right way?

ok, i will ask something specific:

1. is there a way to integrate web-app security with the remote ejb security? (i mean use basic or form-based authentication with the jboss login config?)

2. now i am trying LoginInitialContextFactory, but somebody (tomcat i think) cant find a config file (java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to locate a login configuration). I found info that i have to point it to auth.conf, but i dont have auth.conf. can i use login-conif.xml instead somehow?
