Remotely call EJBCA EJB API

[Roman]

This is my configuration:
EJBCA 6.3.1.1 running on JBoss 7.1.1.Final and Java 7

I am trying to build remote client (not on EJBCA server) which will use remote EJB to access logic on EJBCA.
So for the basic I tried to do the following call, inspired by EJCBA CLI module:

Set<Principal> principals = new HashSet<Principal>();
        principals.add(new UsernamePrincipal("ejbca"));

        AuthenticationSubject subject = new AuthenticationSubject(principals, null);

        CliAuthenticationToken authenticationToken = (CliAuthenticationToken) EjbRemoteHelper.INSTANCE.getRemoteSession(CliAuthenticationProviderSessionRemote.class).authenticate(subject);
        if (authenticationToken == null) {
            System.out.println("AuthenticationToken : null");
        } else {
            // Set hashed value anew in order to send back
            authenticationToken.setSha1HashFromCleartextPassword("ejbca");
        }

I have also set in my class path the following files:
jndi.properties:

# JBoss 7
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.ejb.client.naming
# To run remote EJB you also need jboss-ejb-client.properties in your classpath

jboss-ejb-client.properties:

remote.connectionprovider.create.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED=false
remote.connections=default
remote.connection.default.host=IPaddress of my server
remote.connection.default.port = 4447
remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS=false

When I try to run the client code, I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: No EJB receiver available for handling [appName:ejbca,modulename:ejbca-ejb,distinctname:] combination for invocation context org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClientInvocationContext@64423419

    at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy0.authenticate(Unknown Source)
    at TestRemoteEJBCA.main(TestRemoteEJBCA.java:28)

I checked that on the server side that it is listening on port 4447 for remote clients and from server log I see that EJB was correctly deployed.

How to call it? Is there anything else that should be configured to call EJBCA EJB?

If the EJBCA CLI works, EJBCA runs correctly.
