Here's how I address these problems in my app.
I use the users email address as their ID
First I require all my users to have a google account for their email address.
If they don't already have an account I send them to:
https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount
First thing the MainPage I have the following code.
user = users.get_current_user()
if user == None:
self.redirect(users.create_login_url(self.request.uri))
else :
email = user.email().lower()
At this point I know google has authenticated the user.
But it could be anyone of Google gazillion users,
not necessarily one of my users.
I need to check if it's one of my users, so I create
class MyUsers(db.Model):
uemail = db.StringProperty()
.
.
.
I know there is a db.EmailProperty(), but it is too hypersensitive and
does not allow Null values, sometimes I want to set up an entry before
I have gathered all the necessary info, db.StringProperty() is less of a
hassle.
I import the list of valid users from an external application using the
bulkloader.
Actually I have some more tables (I'm stuck on sql nomemclature)
that list admin users, and other kinds of users with different privileges.
So before I let a user do anything I check to appropriate table,
admin, regular users, etc. to see if the email that google validated
for has the appropriate privileges.
