I would not do it that way, I think the below will help you.
>2) Is there any chance to make it application-server independent, I mean

There is an option to write your own realm and user this :
http://code.google.com/p/vt-middleware/wiki/vtldapAuthentication
You will then have the power to do as you wish.
