Identity provider names

[FunctionallyLiterate]

Hello,

I've been playing around with using a custom ExternalClaimsFilter and Windows Azure AD. I would like to filter claims differently when the provider being used is WAAD, but the only property to identify the current identity provider is the Name property. For Twitter and Facebook this comes across as the string "Facebook" or "Twitter".

It looks like the name property gets set in ExternalIdentity.cs to always equal the Issuer of the NameIdentifier claim type. In the case of WAAD, that value is a rather ugly URL with a guid identifier. Is there any way to add the ability to customize the Name property of the identity provider when you wire it up in the Startup.cs class?

Either way, great job on version 3! It seems to be much more flexible/customizable than the previous version.

So right now we only support the katana social identity providers and yes, the provider name passed to the filter is the name as registered with katana. We will eventually support other idps (#59) and whatever identifier we use for those will be passed.

Ok that works. Thanks!
