As far as I know, it's not yet available, Justin.  EGL calls to RPG use 
the Java toolbox.  Have you tried to use EIM with the toolbox?  I 
honestly have never tried it, but if it's not supported there, that's 
the first place you have to get support.  Then they have to build it 
into the EGL support libraries (right now, there's a function in J2EELib 
that lets you set the user profile and password).

I'm intrigued, though.  In what circumstances do you expect to use EIM?  
Are you planning to log onto a Windows PC, for example, and then have 
that credential be passed automatically to, say, a browser-based 
application?  Wouldn't the browser have to also support this?
