IIdentityProvider.CreateDescriptor Method (TeamFoundationRequestContext, String)

A provider can implement [CreateDescriptor] if they support resolving an identity's generalized display name to a descriptor. This enables 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 cannot resolve the display name to a unique user.
