This relates to case #00959640, if that help the Google support engineers here.
I deploy my AppEngine code using one of my defined GoogleApps for Domains (Premium) accounts. Let's call this account deployer@mydomain. I've got email and password being passed via the command line to appcfg.py.
I can log in to mail.mydomain (google apps) with no problem with deployer@mydomain. However on a daily basis (and it's at least once every 24 hours) I have a problem with AppEngine deployments where I'm prompted to go deal with authentication, per this message:
This happens completely irregularly - sometimes to the point where I deploy my application with this login, but when I try to set the default version (another call to appcfg with exactly the same parameters), I get this authentication error. But it's pretty much guaranteed to happen at least once a day now.
All my connections to this user account are from the same IP address (my external IP), at least as for as I can tell from the connection history for this account. And I've never been prompted for the captcha from any other google-apps service (although I only use gmail for this account, so it's possible that it's some other issue).
This repeated request for authentication is problematic since I can't do automated deployments. And there's no logic that I can see to why this occurs, or when.
I'd greatly appreciate help on this since it's been about 2 weeks of this problem, and it's quite disruptive. BTW it appears to have started since the last appEngine/google-apps upgrade. Prior to that I never had any request to validate myself.
Thanks.

Hi Sundar:
This looks like it is due to an App Engine issue, (not a Google Apps API issue).
Please post your question here:

Hi Michael,
I posted here since the google-apps support personnel told me to.
Apparently they think it's a Google Apps API issue. I had already
posted to the appengine group (see
https://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/7433dc52a8a6922d?pli=1).
Cheers
