The domain is used when setting HTTP authentication cookies in a user's browser. If this attribute is not correct, single sign-on will not work when the user switches between applications.


  • When developing on your local machine, the domain should be set to localhost.
  • If you wish to have single sign-on (SSO) support for *.mydomain.com, you will need to set the domain to .mydomain.com. Please note the full stop ('.') before the top-level-domain.

To specify the domain,

  1. Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Administration' tab in the top navigation bar.
  3. The 'General Options' screen will appear. Type the new domain into the 'Domain' field.
  4. Click the 'Update' button.
