I agree that method does feel a bit like HTTP method. "authentication
method" does have as advantage that it can be used reasonably
interchangeable with "auth method", even when we agree that the latter
is perhaps not ideal.
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)
5 out of 14 voted:
Arjan Tijms - authentication mechanism
Adam: auth-method (because in web.xml + servlet)
Darran Lofthouse - authentication mechanism
Pedro Igor - authentication mechanism
Rudy De Busscher - authentication mechanism (slightly favored) /
authentication method
Organized per term:
authentication mechanism - 4
auth-method - 1
authentication method - 1
Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
