How to translate the Windows Live Autentication Unique ID to a "readable" user name

Hi,

I am in the testing phase of setting up claims based authentication using Windows Live ID on our Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise server.  I have gone through the process of setting up the "INT" environment an I can actually log onto the Sharepoint site using my windows live id internal account, i.e. "my.account@live-int.co.za"

Because I don't want random windows live users logging onto the server I manually add the unique ID as an allowed user to the site. The challenge I am facing is to translate the Unique ID back to the Windows Live Account ID it is connected to.

To explain further. When I log onto the server with "my.account@live-int.co.za" the username that shows up in the top right hand corner is  "000187654029@live.com". I would have to be able to manage this for 100s of users and having a way to translate the unique ID to the Windows Live ID and vice versa would be the ideal solution.

Your assistance would be appreciated.

Regards

Mirco
