My app uses Google Account API for user authentication. There is also a number of integrated applications (desktop apps, cron jobs, etc) which run elsewhere outside of the GAE. The integrated applications currently use ClientLogin to authenticate themselves when logging in to the app.
Now I'd like to give my website users possibility to use their OpenID identities. This means that I have to switch my application to use federated login. I guess this means that ClientLogin will not work any more. So, all integrations will get broken. I understood, that it is possible to implement login procedure for desktop applications with OAuth. But this *requires* user interaction meaning it does not work for the cron jobs. I was trying to find any information about this issue, but that's surprisingly difficult. So, to sum this up: with federated login enabled, is there a way to implement login for applications which does not require user interaction? For example a cron job takes username & password from a file when loggin in to my app at GAE. Just like ClientLogin does? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
