I believe that FriendConnect works at the JavaScript level (e.g. runs in the user's browser) while the App Engine backend is running on Google's servers. There's no direct connection between the two. If you want to use FriendConnect as your authentication mechanism, you may want to use it by itself entirely, without using the App Engine User API at all.
