title: ClaimsAuthorizationManager database configuration
body: <p>I followed the MSDN post on implementing a claim-based authorization. 
  <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.claims.claimsauthorizationmanager(v=vs.110).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.claims.claimsauthorizationmanager(v=vs.110).aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>It uses XML configuration in Web.config to define policies. </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Can the policies be stored and pulled from database instead of file?</li>
  <li>If not, can this be done in another file? </li>
  </ol>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>LoadCustomConfiguration   - When overridden in a derived class, loads
    custom configuration from XML.</p>

  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18029871/claimsauthorizationmanager-pull-policies-from-database">ClaimsAuthorizationManager pull policies from database</a> is the same question but contains <strong>no answer for database implementation</strong> or reading it from another xml file other than web.config.</p>
