Crowd 1.1 : 2.1 Using the Directory Browser
This page last changed on Jun 19, 2007 by rosie@atlassian.com.
About DirectoriesCrowd 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. About the Directory BrowserThe Directory Browser allows you to view and search for configured directories. To use the Directory Browser,
You created one default directory when you setup Crowd. To add more directories, see 2.2 Adding a Directory
