About Applications
Crowd integrates and provisions applications. Once defined, an application is mapped to a directory(s), whose users are then granted access to the application. Note that an application can only communicate with Crowd when the application uses a known host address.
Default Applications
When you first use the Application Browser, you will see two default applications:
- 'crowd' — this is the Crowd Administration Console (i.e. 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.
- 'demo' — this is the 'demo' application which you (optionally) installed during setup. Its main purpose is to provide an example of how to integrate custom applications with Crowd.

About the Application Browser
The Application Browser allows you to view and search for integrated applications.
To use the Application Browser,
- Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
- Click the 'Applications' link 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.
- To view/edit an applications's details, click the 'View' link.
