[Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) has been fully integrated into the .NET Framework. The version of WIF addressed by this topic, WIF 3.5, is deprecated and should only be used when developing against the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or the .NET Framework 4. For more information about WIF in the .NET Framework 4.5, also known as WIF 4.5, see the Windows Identity Foundation documentation in the .NET Framework 4.5 Development Guide.]

This method gets called when a special type of SamlAttribute is detected. The SamlAttribute passed in wraps a SamlAttribute that contains a collection of AttributeValues, each of which are mapped to a claim. All of the claims will be returned in an IClaimsIdentity with the specified issuer.
