I’ve been playing about with Azure ACS and its very cool and I think I’m going to use it in my next project..
One question I have though is when I get my ClaimsIdentity back, its pretty empty with just email and name.. is this by design?
Is it possible to get more information in this? I was really hoping I could use the avatar the user has for the service..
any help would be great.
cheers.

The claims returned are pretty much at the discretion of the identity providers. Each one can return different claims (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg185971.aspx for details on what each identity provider returns). You’re only guaranteed to get the ‘Name Identifier’ and ‘Identity Provider’ claims returned by every Identity Provider.
