Hi,

I have an AppEngine application, where users can create their own
"services" and invite other users to use them. All users are
authenticated via OpenID. So far everything works as expected.

I'd like to enable users to expose part of their services on their web
sites. I read OAuth docs and it seems that it can be done: user's web
sites would be Consumers and my AppEngine app would be
ServiceProvider.

However, users need to be authorized to access the services (level of
features also depends on this). Docs state that OAuth on AppEngine can
only be used by users that gave Google Accounts:
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/oauth/overview.html#OAuth_and_App_Engine

quote: "The user must have a Google account to sign in and authorize a
consumer."

Question: Is there any other way to enable users to login via OpenID
and still expose part of my app's functionality (Provider) on other
people's web sites (Consumer)? Has anyone done something similar?
Maybe setting up my own OAuth authorization? Any frameworks/libs to do
this on AppEngine?

Thanks for your help,

Peter Knego
