I agree with Mark: a relatively simple Filter could be implemented that
prohibits access unless the above requirements are met.

These requirements don't really authenticate the user in any way, do
they? Do you have to populate a Principal object in the request and then
use that to do authorization? Or, do you just need to prevent
unauthorized people from getting in?

You could always make your login page just look like a "Forbidden" page.
There's nothing that says a login page has to contain a login form :)
