Hi,

I spent some time figuring out if OpenID would work well with my GWT
app, not sure if anyone else has tried. If I understand correctly,
when a user gets to my app, I need to ask them to sign in with an
OpenID provider (google, yahoo, facebook, etc).

This is a bit problematic because the providers will either require a
redirect to their own sign-in page, or a popup asking for user login
information. Does anyone else find that to be user-unfriendly?

On the plus side, it only has to be done once, I can save a session
cookie afterwards so I don't have to keep prompting them with every
visit to my site - but this is how a do-it-yourself login would work
anyway.

Anyone have experience with OpenID + GWT? There's a write up of one
possible way to integrate it here:

but the redirects / popups are making me lean towards not doing it,
even though it would be nice to save my users from yet another
username/password combo.

Thanks
