I have to admit to be using both terms as well, which only emphasis the
necessity for agreeing on a single term I think ;)
Terms so far:
* auth-method (Servlet)
* authentication method (Resin term 1)
* authentication mechanism (Undertow)
* authenticator (Tomcat)
* login manager (Resin term 2)
* login (Resin term 3)
8 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 method
Ivar Grimstad - auth-method / authentication method
Ajay Reddy - Authentication method
Organized per term:
authentication mechanism - 4
authentication method - 4
auth-method - 2
Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
