Is it hard to redirect the appspot lookup to use google account names + passwords?
[II] I believe that it is possible task. It could be done in two ways:
set google account e-mail in mttdatabase_username key of ini-file
1) provide for filling User.username with google account e-mail and change code of User.check_password in file gds/auth/models.py to with google account verification code
code example (I have not checked one):
I took a swipe at doing this (totally not tested; how does one develop/test this stuff?). I know just a tiny bit of python, but the code was fairly readable. Please see the attached patch -- is it anywhere close to correct?
[II] It seems close but you forget about bquery.pl that allows to add a
new user and related handler (processes bquery.pl --admin) on
gds/main.py at least.
Keep in mind performance difference between google account verification code and local verification!
Yep -- am not worried about that. MTT data submits don't have to be super speedy. If a local verification takes (say) .01 second, and a google account verification takes 1 second (or even a few seconds), I don't think it'll matter.
[II] We should take into account limitations and quotes (response etc)
that are specific for google app:
