The login action invokes your authentication pipeline (authenticator)
and passes all parameters defined at the login action to this pipeline.
These parameters are passed as request parameters, so using
{request-param:username} in your authenticator pipeline is the right
way.
If you add another parameter to your login action, e.g. a parameter
named "app":

you can use it in your authenticator pipeline via
{request-param:app} as well.
