You could use curl.
At your php-script, which you used for your ajax request, you could open the login page. Than check which parameters does the login page needs and post the data to the login page with another curl request.
After that, you should be logged in and could retrieve the wanted data with another last curl request.
Make sure to setup the cookie usage, so the page can identify your request with the session.
