Unable to federate to SharePoint with ADFS and RSA


The user is unable to federate to Microsoft SharePoint with ADFS and RSA FIM acting as the IDP.
Error when accessing SharePoint

Cause
SharePoint was expecting an "AD FS 1.x E-Mail Address" claim.   RSA FIM was sending email address claim as "E-Mail Address" and not "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/caims/emailaddress" which is what ADFS was expecting.
Resolution
Create a custom claim rule on CP trust rules to transform "E-Mail Address" to "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/caims/emailaddress" and a transform rule to change ADFS emal address into "AD FS 1.x E-Mail Address" in case we needed to use the default email claim for another RP.
