This page gives an overview of the process for adding an application to Crowd, It refers to the application-specific pages for detailed instructions.

概要

There are two main steps to integrating an application with Crowd:

  • Step 1. Configure Crowd to talk to your application — that is, set up a directory in Crowd containing your users and groups, and then add the application to Crowd using the 'Add Application' wizard, as described below. The application will now be allowed to authenticate against Crowd.
  • Step 2. Configure the application to talk to Crowd — that is, install the Crowd client into the application and configure the application to forward users' authentication and security requests to Crowd.
