Authenticate Web Users with Azure Active Directory Access Control

Question

I followed the article at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/active-directory-dotnet-how-to-use-access-control/ to the lettre, which successfully executes and displays correctly but it does not indicate how to get specific information from the claim such as the nameidentifier or the email. I tried several syntx to get properties or values for nameidentifier and others but everytime getting a different runtime or compile errors.

Can you provide a snippet of code on how it is possible to extract specific propertie from the claim in the code behind (Homecontroller)

Thanks

Hi,

Apologies for addressing this issue so late.

As of now it is not possible to get specific information from the claim such as the nameidentifier or the email.

The name identifier differs per ACS namespace.  That was an intentional design choice to prevent multiple websites from collaborating and tracking users. 

However You can use ADFS in chain with ACS to inject more claims.

You might want to refer the below listed links for more insight on this topic.
