Is there any documentation on how to combine app engine, openID, and oauth?
We have already set up our production app (serving over 100K users) to act as a shibboleth service provider, but would like to move it to app engine. We need a way to provide the same federated authentication support though. The app engine docs online only discuss google accounts but they mention openID and oauth here and there. No real directions. We would be happy to work with you and google to document the process. Our time frame for doing this in production is now.
