Single Sign-On (SSO) and Identity Management | Crowd

Crowd — identity management simplified

Crowd is a web-based single sign-on (SSO) tool that simplifies application provisioning and identity management.

Administrators can manage authentication and authorisation for as many users, web applications and directory servers as needed — all through a single, intuitive interface.

Crowd is the perfect solution to:

  • Give your users the convenience of single sign-on
  • Manage any number of users, logins and passwords
  • Centralise user management for applications such as JIRA, Confluence and Bamboo
  • Connect to multiple LDAP servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory
  • Integrate or import legacy user repositories
  • Control access to select applications for every user and group
  • Easily connect Crowd's application framework to new web applications

Perfect for end-users

Now you only have to login once, and you're logged in to everything, even Open ID accounts. Best of all, there's only one password to remember! More...
