I solved this by adding my information to the querystring, which is available on the IConnected.Connect() method.

On the .NET client you pass the querystring into your HubConnection:

var connection = new HubConnection("http://localhost:8080/", "myInfo=12345");

On the JS client, you set the qs property before starting the connection:

$.connection.hub.qs = "myInfo=12345";

You can then access this information on the server in the Connect() method:

var myInfo = Context.QueryString["myInfo"];
Groups.Add(Context.ConnectionId, myInfo);
