I'm working on the login portion of our application at the moment, and I am wondering where the best place to put custom properties is?

We have a User object that stores all the details, but I don't want to pass all of that back to the client. I would like to pass back such properties as UserId, Username, Full Name, Email, etc.

Should these properties be put on the identity, or the principal? Should I just have my own custom IPrincipal class with a default UserIdentity?

Hi smi-mark;

Sorry for the delayed reply. Our suggestion is to put it on a custom IPrincipal with or without a custom UserIdentity.
