How do I setup Account Registration, Login, etc in Grails when developing for the Google App Engine? Normally I would use the Acegi plugin but I've read that it doesn't work with Google App Engine.

For reference, I'm using the Grails app-engine and gorm-jpa plugins.

A: 

Google App Engine allows you to manage users through their Google Accounts Java API. The page provides example codes which you can easily implement with Groovy. Hope it helps.

You should take a look at this patch: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILSPLUGINS-1233. I haven't used it yet but might be what you are after.

Hi Benny,

In my opinion, it is essential to create custom authentication instead of using Google Account API to create any viable application run on GAE.

So, I created my own solution to tackle this problem which you may interested to have a look at URL: http://grailsfuse.vobject.com/ (You will hit http 500 error for first request, please wait for 30 seconds and refresh)

The missing part is the self-registration page and remember me feature. Please contact us (hyperlink located below the page of URL above) if you are still interested.

Wish to heard from you soon!
