Hi,
We now have 4 votes:
David Blevins: Store
Arjan Tijms: Authentication Store
Alex Kosowski: Authentication Store / Identity Store
Rudy De Busscher: Security Provider
No other people have voted yet, although there have been some
additional comments.
Based on this, shall we establish "authentication store" as the
working term? Just so we all know what we're talking about. The final
term can be something else still.
Kind regards,
Arjan
