SharePoint 2010 Custom Claims Provider

This is a Custom Claims Provider Item Template based on the MSDN Sample available in the MSDN Code Gallery titled "Writing Claims Providers for SharePoint 2010".  The entire code sample can be downloaded here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/SharePoint-2010-Writing-87dbee1d

The Claims Provider walkthrough can be reviewed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff699494.aspx

Of course, the unfortunate part of the code sample provided in the MSDN Code Gallery is that the solution file is not part of a SharePoint project!!

This means that you have to create an Empty SharePoint project and then add the necessary class file to your project so that you can publish your Custom Claims Provider as a Farm-level Feature.

Therefore, this Item Template is available to make it easier to simply add your Custom Claims Provider directly to your Empty SharePoint project.  In addition, the code has been modified to include regions that allow you to easily decipher which properties and methods are relevant to the various pieces of functionality in a Custom Claims Provider.
