Alternatively, you can modify the claim dialects by editing the claim-config.xml configuration file (found in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf folder).

A sample claim dialect is given below.

<Dialect dialectURI="http://wso2.org/SampleAppClaims">    
    <Claim>
        <ClaimURI>http://wso2.org/SampleAppClaims/givenname</ClaimURI>
        <DisplayName>First Name</DisplayName>
        <MappedLocalClaim>http://wso2.org/claims/givenname</MappedLocalClaim>
    </Claim>
    <Claim>
        <ClaimURI>http://wso2.org/SampleAppClaims/nickName</ClaimURI>
        <DisplayName>Nick Name</DisplayName>
        <MappedLocalClaim>http://wso2.org/claims/nickname</MappedLocalClaim>
