Hi,

I'm trying to add my custom AppEngine application to my Google Apps account. I've followed the descriptions at:

Both fail. The road via AppEngine fails with an unknown reason. The message is "Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het installeren van deze applicatie. Probeer het later opnieuw." (Dutch), which rougly translates to an error has occured, please try again later.

Trying via Google Apps control panel results in "U beschikt niet over de benodigde rechten om deze applicatie te installeren." (Dutch), which translates to "you don't have enough rights", probably also the problem via the other way.

Which rights is the error talking about, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Jeroen

Jeroen,

First link describes authentication method, how and who you want to be able to sign in (assuming you are going to use it later in your app via Users Service provided by App Engine). The second link simply describes how to do domains mapping, e.g. myapp.appspot.com => myapp.example.org

Those are two separate things, one does not really imply the other. Though both do require you to have a valid and verified Google Apps domain.  

At which steps exactly do you see those errors?

Anyways, I'd start with the domain mapping first and then move to access settings since there are different authentication methods and you might find that what you really wanted was OAuth 2.0 or something else.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the reply. With regards to the auth page, I was referring to the last section ("Configuring Google Apps to Authenticate on Appspot"), forgot to mention that.

Things go wrong when, for option 1 (auth) I click on "Add it now", for option 2 when I click "Activate this service".

Thanks,

Jeroen

Try switching back the auth settings to the original (I assume it was "any google account"), and "Add it now" again. Also, you can actually do that with any app id, like "google-developers" (it's the one live on developers.google.com). So, try with a different app and see if it works.

Also, I assume your domain is verified. If the Apps domain was just setup recently (like today), you might want to simply try it later, in a few hours. If none of that works I'm out of ideas. If you're an Apps for Business, try contacting apps support.

Thanks,

adding google-developers works fine. Switching back to no-auth is no option (see https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/auth), so I've resorted to the Google Apps for Business support.

Thanks for your time!

Found the error, Google wasn't willing to help here, too bad, it's not within their core product stack, but on their control panel, very strange.

Issue was a typo in the domain name I entered, which is not recoverable except by deleting the application and creating a new one. Should be added to the docs I guess, or perhaps better checking in the AppEngine app creation forms...

Hope this helps for someone
