Documentation for Crowd 1.4. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.

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 three 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.
  • '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.

    No link could be created for 'How CrowdID works with Crowd'.

  • '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. To access the 'demo' application, go to http://localhost:8095/demo.

About the Application Browser

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

To use the Application Browser,

  1. Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Applications' tab in the top navigation bar.
  3. 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.
  4. To view/edit an application's details, click the 'View' link next to the specific application.
