The parameters of the loginform are passed to the security.
Currently only username/password can be used by a login, due to the
limitations of the cloud tag.

method is the attribute method
cloud is the attibute cloud
password is the attribute password
username is the attribute login
Currently, additional parameters, which _could_ be needed by the
security cant be provided by the cloud tag.

The reason why i need is, is that i want to have a login page, with nice
layout and -future- possibility to profide additional information to the
security system when performing a login.
