title: Storing additional information in user identity in ASP.NET MVC application
body: <p>I have created my own MembershipProvider for my ASP.NET MVC 3 application and have it working great.</p>
  
  <p>Once logged in, I can call the logged in user's username by requesting <code>System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to store some additional information about the user here which needs to be reused throughout the application.</p>
  
  <p>Could anybody help me out with identifying the best way to do this, possibly with some examples?</p>
