Hi Rob, I'm developing an iphone app using GAE as a RESTful back-end and I've implemented my own auth using HTTP Digest over SSL.
RESTful services should be stateless, so each authenticated call should send the user information (tokens or login/pass). To Login, just create a service that returns HTTP Codes 200 or 403 if login succeed or failed. Hope it helps.
