Web version of Session Authentication Agent?
Session Auth requires a back connection to a host to prompt for authentication for each access. Using a web page for this purpose would be tough, if not impossible. There are a couple of things you can do:


You can use Client Auth with a web browser. Connect to the firewall at port 900. Make sure that there is an appropriate entry uncommented in $FWDIR/conf/fwauthd.conf and that your security policy does not prohibit users from accessing your firewall on port 900.
You can use ImplicitClientAuth using HTTP Authentication to a specific web page on the intranet. You can use the HTTP Security Server and use a resource to match a specific web page. When the users access the specific web page, they will be prompted for authentication and "implicitly" client authed.
