ClientLoginModule is used to setup the client-side security context. 
This context is later used by a client-side security interceptor that 
retrieves the security info and sends it along with the invocation. See 
org.jboss.security.SecurityAssociationActions - this class provides 
utility methods to retrieve the contents of the security context.

AFAIK this can be used anywhere.

Found an usage example here:
