Important Notes

Please make sure to preserve capitalization for the names above, for example, "givenName" (make sure the 'N' is capitalized). Also, claim values can be different in your system if they have been customized. The most important factor in a correct setup is that each of the claims listed above corresponds to the following user info, even if the mapped attribute source is different:

• Unique User Identifier (Name ID): User's email address
• givenName: User's first name
• familyName: User's last name
• email: User's email address

When configuring the claims, make sure to set the "namespace" field for ALL attributes to empty:
