I would prefer method 2) because it separates concerns best. The 
Authentication utility should not be misused to implement all the other 
features you need for your application. The PAS in Zope 2/CMF/Plone is an 
example where they stuffed more and more features into the PAS and now have a 
monolithic monster. So, to iterate my point, write a utility that is only 
responsible for holding registration information and use it to generate the 
principal information upon activation.

Stephan
