We need users to be able to access our app on our domain, so I went
into my Dashboard and clicked "Add New URL" to set this up, and then
added a CNAME at GoDaddy.  We use Google Apps for our domain
internally, but do not want the users of our App Engine app accessing
Mail, Documents, Sites, etc.  However, my understanding is that the
only way I could point a subdomain at our App Engine app was to use
Google Apps and "Add New URL".

We're going to have an installed desktop application access our app
via ClientLogin, and it's fine if that needs to talk to
<myapp>.appspot.com in order to use HTTPS.  The plan is for the
installed application to hide the credentials it uses to safely
communicate with our App Engine application behind the scenes.

The only time our users will directly interact with the App Engine app
is when they login via a web browser.  For that, we'd like to use
custom authentication because I don't want to have to pay $50/user/
year for them to access via a Google Apps Premier account.  But it
sounds like this means we can't safeguard portions of the site with
the deployment descriptor if we're using custom authentication:

Is this true?  How can we handle this?
