Q: 

Membership provider

What would be the best way to store additional information outside of active directory? I will be utilizing AD authentication as well as WIndowsTokenRoleProvider but I will also need to store some additional information about a user that will be used for authorizations purposes.

This is a ASP.net application with a SQL backend, I am looking for suggestions or perhaps some articles that can provide direction.

+1  A: 

You can store as much info as you need in the User Profile. There is a default profile provider and you can always write your own if u need something tailored to your needs.

A: 

Another option is to create your own table, then use the ASP.NET Membership ID (make sure you use the GUID, not the username) as a foreign key.
