Integrating AD with Applications

I am curious as to how some of you are integrating in-
house apps into your Active Directory, if at all. Is
anyone actually storing app data in any way in their
directory? Thanks.

I am an IT consultant dedicated to integrating AD (+ADAM)
and Exchange into applications (or the opposite

).

Yes you can use AD to store data but it highly depends on
the nature of data to be stored.

For baseline, you can read those interesting papers from
