Deploying a Claims Provider as Part of a Setup

The easiest way to deploy a claims provider is by using the features infrastructure. To do this, first define a feature and a feature receiver that derives from the SPClaimProviderFeatureReceiver class, and override the base properties. 

The following is an example of how to do this.

public class MyClaimProviderFeatureReceiver : SPClaimProviderFeatureReceiver
    {
        public override string ClaimProviderAssembly { get { return typeof(MyClaimProvider).Assembly.FullName; } }
        public override string ClaimProviderType { get { return typeof(MyClaimProvider).FullName; } }
        public override string ClaimProviderDisplayName
        {
            get
            {
                return StringResourceManager.GetString(MyLocalizedClaimProviderName);
            }
        }
        public override string ClaimProviderDescription
        {
            get
            {
                return StringResourceManager.GetString(MyLocalizedClaimProviderDescription);
            }
            }
    }
