The documentation for Google App Engine Federated IDs states:

WARNING: at the time of this writing, OpenID is not supported if your app runs in secure mode using HTTPS.

I am just checking to see if this is still the case. The bug seems to be related to Issue 3586, which remains unresolved.

There is a similar question, but it has not been updated in two years: Secure remote_api in app engine with OpenID.

If I understand correctly, this issues means that one cannot use OpenIDs with Google App Engine if your app requires SSL. Do I understand correctly? Are there any workarounds (e.g. Janrain's RPX)?

    Hmm, I tried it on my app engine site and it seems to work. – Peter Knego Apr 03 '12 at 14:00
  • Clarification: it works on https://mysite.appspot.com (not a real address). AFAIK it does not work on custom domains with SSL. – Peter Knego Apr 03 '12 at 14:03
  • @PeterKnego: Thanks Peter, that's interesting. The SSL on custom domains is [another issue altogether](http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=792). :) – Brian M. Hunt Apr 03 '12 at 14:13
