Crowd

Features OpenID

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

Somewhere over the firewall

OpenID offers single sign-on capabilities to many online sites — upon authentication with one site, you receive instant access to all OpenID sites.

Crowd's OpenID authentication server, CrowdID, talks with websites and applications using OpenID. It expands Crowd's SSO capabilities to applications outside your organisation's firewall.

CrowdID

CrowdID lets users manage multiple OpenID profiles and accounts, if they wish — all in one place.

The OpenID business exchange

With a CrowdID account, users are identified to external sites as a bona fide member of your organisation.

Usage example: The marketing manager logs in to her Crowd- integrated application. Upon login, she is able to access the company intranet, blog and CMS systems without having to authenticate. When she needs to access a partner organisation's extranet, she is already logged in through CrowdID.

Users are deemed 'credible', meaning that when they leave a blog comment, for example, they are accepted as an approved visitor, not a spammer.

OpenID Authentication

Ultimate admin control

Although many outside websites (blogs, photo galleries, company extranets, personalised accounts) support OpenID, the CrowdID system administrator controls which sites users can access.

CrowdID

When an employee leaves the organisation, a single click by the Crowd administrator disables the person's login privileges to all accounts (e.g. intranet and CMS system). This also instantly locks down access to OpenID-approved sites, such as a partner's extranet and online company vendor accounts.
