What is the best approach to the following situation

What is the best approach to the following situation:

I 'd like to create a community identity management solution which is used
to authenticate users for many other web applications. And it is also used
to do the authorization potentially for some of those web applications. It
is for the citizens in the community so I think it is not appropriate to use
AD.

I know in a intranet environment it is good to use AD to authenticate users
and use ADAM to do the authorization for application or store application
related data. But here in a internet environment I wonder if I can use one
ADAM instance to do the custom authentication and use other ADAM instances
to store application related data?

Thanks,

Nick
