I don't know your application, but if (from user's point of view) 
"registering XMPP server account to gain access to your system" sounds 
reasonable, you could extend ejabberd (although i don't know how 
easy/hard this is) to provide jabber:iq:register interface, but use it 
to populate accounts in your (web) application database, not ejabberd 
itself.
