The way we do that is as follows: -for all our users, we map an AD attribute into CAS, and then map that to the Google username. This allows for usernames that are different from email names. (eg. you can use the AD "mail" attribute; we have actually extended the schema to add our own private attributes, so as to not mess with anything MS could use themselves.) CAS3.3.5 has this built in after some initial mods we submitted. (See http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/Google+Apps+from+MS-AD+using+the+%27mail%27+attribute)
-then in order to login to Google as another user, we use a dummy AD account. We set that "google" AD attribute to the google username, and login to CAS with that AD account. When you then go to Google, you become that other user set in your google attribute. Setting this AD google attribute can be accomplished with a very simple 3 liner vb-script (as long as you have the proper AD rights). I can send more details if you wish...
