I use both these terms when discussing authentication, but I think I use
Method more than Mechanism :-) - so my vote is for Authentication Method.

Actually if there are more out of the 14 eligable who might still cast
their vote now, could I please
-1 "authentication mechanism"? to give "authentication method" a fair
chance?;-)
It was my 2nd choice anyway.

Thanks,
Werner

  Great, that now gives us:

  Terms so far:

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

  7 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
  Werner Keil -  authentication mechanism  /
  authentication method (slightly favored)
  Ivar Grimstad - auth-method / authentication method


  Organized per term:

  authentication mechanism - 5
  authentication method - 3
  auth-method - 2

  Kind regards,
  Arjan Tijms
