Yes, i implemented this already. I developped the widget in GAE in Java. There I used OAuth to authenticate against the gdata-api. Then I stored the combination of "usern...@gappdomain.xxx" and the OAuth accesskey in the GAE persistant storage. Everything works fine. So when i log in google apps the includes Gadget reads the logged in username (request.getUserPrincipal().getName() )) and searches with this username for the OAuth key. But than the problem: sometimes the username (request.getUserPrincipal().getName() ) is wrong, so i read the data (e.g. Contacts List) of the wrong user.
So actuelly I don't need a solution for authentication but I need to know which user is actually really logged in to google apps. Any ideas? This should be a quite important topic for all developpers who want to enhance google apps with gae, isn' t it? thanks 2010/2/25 Ikai L (Google) <ika...@google.com> > Probably OAuth, though I'm not sure how that will work with a gadget.
