A provider MAY implement CreateDescriptor if they support resolving an identities generalized display name to a descriptor. This allows 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 can't resolve the display name to a unqiue user.
