for most EPiServer sites you can always log in using the url:

[domain]/util/login.aspx

To get the current user and check authentication:

EPiServer.Security.PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated

and

EPiServer.Security.PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name

You can use the second to log in the current user to your js app...

I would probably do a custom login page for EPi. There are plenty of guides of how to do that. It's pretty easy...

After validating credentials I would store a unique id in session for the user that I can then use as SID and pass to ejabberg server. 

For RID I would probably generate a unique id for each request in the ActionFilter that is used to set the overall layout for mvc / masterpage for webforms.
