Store Active Directory Users in a SQL Database

I need to set a server that creates self-signed certificate when a user register in. So i thought to create a new AD account every time a new users register to the server. BUT, I need to store the user information into a sql server and i can't find a way to do this.

Any idea?

Based on what you describe and your comment:
My problem is that i think that store "public users" (that can register from the web) information into AD is insicure, so i'm trying to find another way to do that "mapping", – Stefano

What you seem to need is an AD domain with a one-way trust:

  • Your public users are in domain A.
  • Domain A trusts your internal private domain B.
  • Your app does AD authentication against domain domain A, and your internal users can authenticate using their full domain credentials (the request gets passed to domain B, which says yay or nay).

Note that this is coming from a guy who hasn't used Windows in a very long time.
I could be giving you terrible advice (and if I am I'm sure one of our Windows folks will clobber me for it).

If you're going to be storing external users for an application, you should be using AD LDS (formerly ADAM) instead of real AD. Or any other generic LDAP, really, but AD LDS is a lot like AD and might fit your needs better.
