Override HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

I am trying to hook into the Web Forms ASP.NET pipeline and extend the HttpContext.Current.User.Identity in such a way that the Name property returns a custom implementation.

One possible approach which I have found in another answer that it is possible to add new properties by adding claims. The two questions I have are:

  1. Where to add the claims in the ASP.NET Web Forms pipeline? And
  2. Is it possible to override the existing Name property?

You can implement the PostAuthenticate event in your application's Global.asax file. The PostAuthenticate event occurs after the FormsAuthenticationModule has verified the forms authentication cookie.
