'Usage
Dim instance As SPActiveDirectoryClaimProvider
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
public class SPActiveDirectoryClaimProvider : SPClaimProvider

Remarks

User based claims use the System.IdentityModel.Claims.ClaimTypes.Name claim type, the user NTLogin name as the claim value, and the Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims.ClaimValueTypes.String claim value type. This is done to keep in sync with the claim types, values, and value types generated during a NTLM-based claims login.

DistributionList and SecurityGroup–based claims use the Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims.ClaimTypes.GroupSid claim type, use the groups sid as the claim value, and the Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims.ClaimValueTypes.String claim value type. This is done to keep in sync with the claim types, values, and value types generated during a NTLM-based claims login.

Thread safety
