Facebook Connect Integration with a site using ASP.NET Membership Provider

Are there any best practices or examples of how to best integrate Facebook connect with an existing ASP.NET Application using the Membership provider (or something similar). I'm sure I can get something going, but, it would be great if there was some information and best practices on this to mitigate any security concerns. Currently I can have a user 'connect' and grab their information, but, I would like to handle them as securely as possible and as similarly as possible to the existing users. Particularly, I would like them to have an entry in the 'users' table.

It would be extra helpful for any information relating to ASP.NET MVC.

Some useful links i have found to date:

Look into RPXNow: https://rpxnow.com/

It'll allow you to integrate your app with a whole range of OpenId providers, and i believe with Facebook amongst them, with a nice tidy API. If you only want facebook as a provider, you may want to look elsewhere however

https://rpxnow.com/ has changed its name to "Janrain" and is commercialized. It would be nice to know the technology behind it in order to create a solution of your own.

Does anyone know an open source, free solution like "Janrain"? Or a good tutorial, suitable for ASP.NET MVC 2?
