Thanks for yours sugestions, the reason for which i need to do that is because i have 
to do an authentication module that are able to authenticate a user depending on a 
company. That is because a user can be in 2 or more companys and the data of the 
companys is diferent. 
Thanks in Advanced.

Yes, but if they happen to have javascript disabled, they will get very

Jose,
tomcat (and all servlet spec compliant app servers) won't process any
further parameters other than the two you mention. When you code your
realm, you code a LoginModule or equivalent which is passed these 2
parameters.
This means the only option you have is to instruct the user to place the
extra parameter on the end of the username, perhaps after an appropriate
seperator character, so that you can then split your extra parameter
from the user name in your realm code.

You don't have to instruct the user to do this.  Just have login form as a
hidden form and fill (and submit) it using JavaScript.  You can get the
values from a login form you call whatever you like and then append whatever
you like to the end of each of the username and password.

This does sound rather odd though and you should really be looking at the
bigger picture of your architecture to see why you have this problem in the
first place as it sounds like you are trying to hack a solution to me!!
Sorry if your not!

further parameters other than the two you mention. When you code your 
realm, you code a LoginModule or equivalent which is passed these 2 
parameters.

This means the only option you have is to instruct the user to place the

from the user name in your realm code.
