Documentation for Crowd 2.0.x. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.

This page provides details of Crowd's behaviour when there is more than one directory mapped to an application.

Note: This information is relevant to only those configurations that have duplicate usernames across directories and multiple directories mapped to a single application. In most cases, you do not need to know Crowd's behaviour to the level described on this page.

In summary: Most operations execute in an iterative manner across all directories assigned to an application.

The table below describes the behaviour of the individual operations.
