Remarks

The NameFormat property specifies the format that the Name property is in.

Although the format used to specify a name is extensible, the following table lists the formats defined by the SAML specification.

Format Description
EmailNamespace A URI that states the subject of a SAML assertion is specified as an email address.
UserNameNamespace A URI that states the subject of a SAML assertion is specified using a Windows domain account.

The NameFormat property corresponds to the Format attribute of the <saml:NameIdentifier> element that is defined in the Assertions and Protocol for the OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) specification.
