Why is my overridden ClaimsIdentityFactory.CreateAsync() method not called?

I have created a MyClaimsIdentity class that inherits from ClaimsIdentity. When I run my app the CreateAsync method is never called and I never see the custom claims that I added.

There are no compile errors and if I add the default constructor I can see that this class is constructed however no breakpoints are hit within the CreateAsync method.

public class MyClaimsFactory : ClaimsIdentityFactory<User, string>
{
    public override async Task<ClaimsIdentity> CreateAsync(UserManager<User, string> manager, User user, string authenticationType)
    {
        var identity = await base.CreateAsync(manager, user, authenticationType);
        if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(user.FirstName))
        {
            identity.AddClaim(new Claim("given_name", user.FirstName));
        }

        return identity;
    }

Setting this as the answer, thanks.

Are you using IdentityServer by chance? If so this may help you... github.com/IdentityServer/IdentityServer3/issues/1204 – Jeremy Aug 3 at 16:13
