If your client doesn't already have a Web SSO solution in place then they would need to set up one first. There are free and commercial products available, but it is a non-trivial exercise. Once you have that, you need to configure the mid-tier to forward the SSO credentials (in 6.x you use a custom Java authenticator class for this.) and develop a custom AREA plug-in for Remedy to validate them.
We have done this using CA's SiteMinder Web SSO. Modifying the sample C++ application was fairly straightforward. Hope this helps.
