Interview: Josh Holmes on ASP.NET 2.0 Membership and Role Providers
ASP.NET authentication and authorization is essentially a solved problem in ASP.NET 2.0 according to .NET guru Josh Holmes. By default, ASP.NET 2.0 will auto-create and use a SQL Server Express data store to maintain membership and role data for web applications.

While the built in authorization provider offers 90% coverage, Josh also discusses when you should utilize a custom provider. Along similar lines and in the interest of using other databases to host membership and role information, on The Code Project, Rakotomalala Andriniaina has written a provider for MySQL and in this MSDN article are details on how to use Oracle as the backend database.
