Documentation for Crowd 1.2. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.

The Crowd WAR distribution is intended for deployment into an existing J2EE application server. It is assumed that you already know how to deploy a web application on the application server of choice. If not, please contact your system administrator to assist you, or consider installing the Crowd 'Standalone' distribution instead.

The standard Crowd installation guide tells you how to install the 'Standalone' distribution of Crowd, which includes Apache Tomcat. Instead, you may wish to deploy Crowd or CrowdID onto your own existing application server. For this purpose, we provide WAR (Webapp ARchive) distributions of the Crowd and CrowdID server applications.

Crowd supports all the application servers listed in System Requirements.

Below is a generic overview of the steps required. You will need to perform specific configuration steps, depending upon your application server. As an example of the installation steps, you can also refer to the following specific instructions:

依存関係

Refer to the system requirements.
(warning) Please make sure that all dependencies are installed, otherwise Crowd will not run properly.

Overview of the WAR Installation Steps

  1. Download the WAR distribution from the Crowd download centre.
    (info) You will find the WAR archives for the Crowd and the CrowdID applications. You will need to deploy each application separately. For the rest of these instructions, we assume you are deploying Crowd WAR.
  2. Please check your unzip program before extracting the downloaded archive – see the note on the Crowd installation front page.
  3. Unzip the download archive into a directory of your choice. We'll call it CROWD in the rest of these instructions.
  4. Create a database in your chosen database server and add the required datasource definition file to your application server.
  5. Modify file CROWD/WEB-INF/classes/jdbc.properties to use your chosen Hibernate database dialect, as explained in the previous step.
  6. Modify file CROWD/WEB-INF/classes/crowd.properties to point to the port of your application server. 8080 is the default, and is shown in the example below: 
    crowd.server.url=http://localhost:8080/crowd/services/
application.login.url=http://localhost:8080/crowd/console/
  7. Depending upon your application server, you may need to zip up the WAR file again before deploying it. Place the CROWD directory or the WAR file into your application server's deployment directory. Please consult the server-specific documentation on how to do this.
  8. Restart your application server.
  9. Point a web browser at the IP address and port that your application server is running on (typically http://localhost:8080). The Crowd Setup Wizard will start.
