Documentation for Crowd 1.2. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.
Crowd supports an unlimited number of user directories. A directory can either be internal to Crowd, or connected to Crowd via an LDAP connector (e.g. for Active Directory) or via a custom directory connector (e.g. for a legacy database).
Once a directory has been defined in Crowd, it can be mapped to applications. Crowd will then delegate authentication and authorisation requests to the directory, for all applications that are mapped to that directory. Modification of directory entities (users, groups and roles) can be done via the Crowd Administration Console or via the application, depending on the application's capabilities.
You can even map multiple directories to an application, providing the application with a single view of multiple directories, in a specified order.
