Hi, Taking the last question first, App Engine allows authentication against either Google Accounts or Google Apps. A full explanation of the options can be found at: http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/auth.html
As for the first part, which is the same for both Google Accounts and Google Apps accounts, this is covered in our documentation ( http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/users/userobjects.html): "If the User constructor is called with an email address that does not correspond with a valid Google account, the object will be created but it will not correspond with a real Google account. This will be the case even if someone creates a Google account with the given email address after the object is stored. A User value with an email address that does not represent a Google account at the time it is created will never match a User value that represents a real user." -Marzia On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 10:08 PM, pr3d4t0r <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Greetings. > > I'm trying to determine what the behaviour for a User instance (and > the application) is if the Google Account is created *after* a User is > instantiated and added to the Datastore. > > Scenario 1: > > a) User instance is created with email = [EMAIL PROTECTED] > b) [EMAIL PROTECTED] is crated in Gmail > c) Application checks if it has a valid user; if not, user signs in > d) User continues to use the application > > > Senario 2: > > Same as scenario 1 except that the email address is > [EMAIL PROTECTED]; somedomain.com is a Google hosted domain > with Google Apps. > > > I'm almost 100% sure that the User object in the Datastore has no > relevance until the matching account is created.
