The only way to launch an ~asynchronous~ request from a web app is using
XMLHTTPRequest. That would be answered by a web server of
some sort. The server can launch any app you want - to run a sql
script, say. Authentication can be done with passwords, as usual.
Security may be an issue - you should use https, and not hard-code
passwords...all the usual security precautions.

Anything ready? Hard to say without knowing more about your
specific needs.
