Why do you guys hard code the nameidentifier and name claim types for the userid in the SamlClaomFactory.

SAML for ASP.NET Core

I noticed if I use the default SamlClaimFactory I always get two big long soap clam types of NameIdentitfer and Name and the value is basically NameID from the saml attribute. Why did you guys choose to so this?

We’re mapping the SAML name ID to standard claims. In this case it’s the NameIdentifier and Name, as you say.
These seemed like the most reasonable claim types to create for the name ID.
Of course, you can use your own SamlClaimFactory if you prefer to use different claim types.
Any feedback regarding our use of these claims is most welcome.

Thanks, just wanted to see if there was a specific reason I needed to be aware of.
