	Name	Description
	CreateDescriptor(TeamFoundationRequestContext, IIdentity)	Creates descriptor from IIdentity instance provided by ASP.NET for authenticated user (through web request's HttpContext.User.Identity property).
	CreateDescriptor(TeamFoundationRequestContext, String)	A provider MAY implement CreateDescriptor if they support resolving an identities generalized display name to a descriptor. This allows TFS to take a display name for an unknown user and resolve it using the provider to a fully qualified identity. NOTE: You should return NULL if you can't resolve the display name to a unqiue user.
	GetIdentity	Gets the identity from the ASP.NET identity source.
	GetPossibleIdentityTypes	Indicates if the supplied descriptor could represent a user, group or both.
	ServiceStart
	SupportedIdentityTypes	Get the fully qualified .NET class type for the Identity type(s) that this store supplies. This is the class that implements IIdentity. An example is "System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity".
	SyncMembers
	TrySyncIdentity
