Answer 1

Have you tried a pass through rule of "Name"?

Answer 2

You'll need to send the "Name" claim through as nzpcmad suggests. Alternatively, in your web app's WIF configuration you can set the NameClaimType to something other than the default ("Name" is the default, hence). It will then use a claim of that type to fill the Name property on the thread's principal identity.

Answer 3

Sometimes you need to install a certificate for your domain in order to get the identity process working, after which you should see the claims.
