I haven't tried this, but it should work fine. Assuming you're using
the authentication ,method in JFF that displays a web form (as opposed
to the htaccess style auth) you could just take the <form> elements
from the page that jff uses, but simply change the target to be the
jff login page. Here's the form as it is by default:

<form id='jffnms_login' method='POST' target='_self'>
<input id='user' type='text' name='user' value='' size='0'>
<input id='pass' type='password' name='pass'>
</form>

But if you were to change the POST to something like:

<form id='jffnms_login' method='POST' target='http://jffnms.yourdomain.com/'>
<input id='user' type='text' name='user' value='' size='0'>
<input id='pass' type='password' name='pass'>
</form>

..and probably add a "submit" form element, I would think it would
work just fine. Nothing php-ish has to be done, just straight html.
