title: Active Directory Custom User Profiles/Attributes?
body: <p>I am currently using the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider just for authentication on an internal business app built in asp.net. This works like a charm.</p>
  
  <p>I am now looking to add some functionality to handle custom profile information for a user, ideally also stored in Active Directory.</p>
  
  <p>For a simple example let's just say the custom attribute is FavoriteColor. Then the goal would be for my app to be able to read in this custom attribute for the authenticated user.</p>
  
  <p>I have looked into ADAM a bit. That looks like it would be great for a Role Provider, but I haven't really found anything that indicates it would work well for a Profile Provider or if it would even let me store custom attributes like FavoriteColor. Maybe someone knows better?</p>
  
  <p>I'm also pretty new to Active Directory so maybe there is even an option to store custom user attributes (like FavoriteColor) within it?</p>
  
  <p>In general I am just looking for ideas about the best way to implement this? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
