About the Application Browser
The Application Browser allows you to view and search for integrated applications.

- Click the 'Applications' tab in the top navigation bar.
- This will display the Application Browser, showing all the applications that exist in your Crowd system. You can refine your search by specifying a 'Name' (note that this is case sensitive), or 'Active'/'Inactive' applications.

About Applications
Default Applications
When you first use the Application Browser, you will see a number of default applications, i.e. applications that are shipped with your Crowd installation:
- 'crowd' — This is the Crowd Administration Console. The Crowd Administration Console is itself a web application that is provisioned by Crowd. The 'crowd' application is mapped to the default directory which you defined during setup, and can be accessed by members of the
crowd-administrators group.
- 'crowd-openid-server' — This is the CrowdID application which you (optionally) configured during setup. It allows you to provide OpenID services to your users. For details please see the CrowdID Administration Guide and the CrowdID User Guide.
- 'demo' — This is the 'demo' application which you (optionally) configured during setup. Its main purpose is to provide an example of how to integrate custom applications with Crowd.
- 'google-apps' — This is the Crowd application connector which allows single sign-on (SSO) to Google Apps. To enable SSO between Crowd-connected applications and Google Apps, you will need to configure the Google Apps connector as described in Configuring the Google Apps Connector.

The 'plugin' applications are implemented as plugins to Crowd.
- An example of a plugin application is the Google Apps connector, which is shipped with your Crowd installation. To activate the Google Apps connector, you need to configure it.
- In future, other plugin applications may become available. You will then be able to install them by copying the relevant jars to your Crowd installation. See Important Directories and Files.
- All installed plugin applications are created automatically when the Crowd server starts up, by loading them from the relevant folders in your Crowd Home directory.
- You cannot rename or delete plugin applications. You can deactivate them.
