If you are running applications behind one or more proxy servers, you may find it useful to configure Crowd to trust the proxies' IP addresses. When a proxy server forwards an HTTP request, Crowd will recognise the request as coming from the request's originator, not the proxy server. This is particularly useful if you want single sign-on amongst several applications running behind different proxy servers.
