Custom Remote User Handler

Unfortunately the OP is trying to support Google Apps as the SP, which 
does not have any mechanism for requesting a particular auth mechanism 
(last I checked).

Other Chris:  I think your options are either to set up multiple Google 
Apps domains, each pointing at a separate IdP, or you will have to write 
a custom login handler.   I was able to do the latter by basically 
cut-and-pasting the RemoteUser login handler code and tweaking it to do 
what I wanted (basically have two endpoints selectable based on the 
requested AuthnContext, and to populate the response AuthnContext based 
on which was used).

If you share a little more detail about what exactly you're trying to 
achieve functionally, we could probably suggest more precise strategies 
for you.
