Registration 2.1: Rename token_endpoint_auth_type to token_endpoint_auth_method

Issue #672 resolved
Vladimir Dzhuvinov created an issue

OAuth 2.0, section 2.3 as well as Messages 2.2.1 use the term "authentication method". To have consistency with existing terminology, it might make sense to rename the parameter from "token_endopoint_auth_type" to "token_endpoint_auth_method".

    The working group decided that this isn't a compelling reason to make a breaking change at this point in the specification process.

    We also need to make the corresponding change in discovery. One will be auth_method - the other will be auth_methods_supported.
