weird problem.
We're using gae php for a simple web app and configured it to use the google account authentication options.
We've had 4 users successfully authenticating to an using the app for some time.
These users all happen to be using email addresses from the same google apps domain.
Recently invited some users who have google accounts in in diff google apps domain or just plain gmail addresses to use the app.
They cannot authenticate.
They get redirected to choose a google account to authenticate with.
When they do so, instead of being granted access, they are redirected back to the login page.
Cannot figure out why this is happening.
It works fine for the 4 of us that have been using the app for some time.
I've looked all over the console and throughout the source code of the app and I can't see anything that might be responsible for this problem.
Any ideas?

Hello,

Can you go to appspot.com, click on your application ID, then go to the Application Settings page (the link is on the left hand side). Which option is the Authentication Type dropdown set to? The options look like this: http://imgur.com/ExLffeJ
