Getting more information from HttpContext.User

Question

Is there a way to get additional active directory details from HttpContext.User?

Currently, I can use it to get the user identity: HttpContext.User.Identity.

What if I needed to access more attributes, such as employeeId, directReports, etc? Can I do it the same way? If not, what's the best way to implement that for an ASP.net / MVC application?
