I am doing a major rewrite of a working website. We have chosen GWT and GAE as the target architecture.
I would like to complement our propriatory user authentication schema with OpenID. Hence, I was very happy that GAE supports the "federated login". After spending the last 8 hours, I have failed to discover any useful artifacts that would make me understand how to use the User API in the federated mode. Additionally, I found out that the guestbook sample gets broken when switching the authentication option from the "Google Account API" to the "Federated Login", causing the login page to be repeatedly called (shortly showing the CheckCookie URL inbetween). I guess this is not a planned behaviour, even thought the method used for obtaining the redirect URL is not forseen for the federated mode (createLoginURL vs createFederatedLoginURL). I would appreciate any comments and/or pointers on this topic as I am aiming on producing a set of basic demo applications using the most promising libraries. The findings will be published in the blog (super-easy.blogspot.com) with the hope that others won't need to waste so much time. I read lots of posts reffering to the dyuproject as a viable OpenID library for GAE and will use it as the next candidate.
