In my application I have an Umbraco front end that will get a large portion of its data including the users from a separate standard WebAPI. The users on the WebAPI side are using ASP.Net Identity and I was looking at how I might access these users on the front end via the WebAPI.

My current plan is to extend the Umbraco Identity extension to do this but I was hoping to find out whether this is advisable (at all sane) and whether anyone had any experience with doing this or something similar.
