Hi,

Okay, thanks ;) One small issue with "auth-method" is that it does
contain the "auth" abbreviation that can mean either authentication or
authorization as Les earlier remarked. Good thing is of course that
this is a very visible term that Java EE is already using. This term
would be okay with me. The only terms from the current list that I
personally don't like are "authenticator" (because it appeared to be
so ambiguous) and "login" (which is more a verb really).

Via /JAVAEE_SECURITY_SPEC-1, Darran and Pedro both expressed their
preference for "authentication mechanism".

Overview now:

Terms so far:

* auth-method
* authentication method (Resin term 1)
* authentication mechanism (Undertow)
* authenticator (Tomcat)
* login manager (Resin term 2)
* login (Resin term 3)

4 out of 14 voted:

Arjan Tijms - authentication mechanism
Adam: auth-method (because in web.xml + servlet)
Darran Lofthouse - authentication mechanism
Pedro Igor - authentication mechanism


Organized per term:

authentication mechanism - 3
auth-method - 1


Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
