'''Crowd''' is a web-based [[single sign-on]] (SSO) tool that aims to simplify application provisioning and identity management. Crowd is composed of an administration console and an integration API where multiple web applications are integrated. The software is free for non-profit organizations and charities. Academic and commercial organizations are charged based on number of users.

Crowd connects to multiple [[LDAP]] servers, such as Microsoft [[Active Directory]] or [[OpenLDAP]], and integrates legacy user repositories. It also provides access control to select user-specific or group-specific applications and connects the existing application framework to web applications, other [[Atlassian]] applications, [[OpenID]], and systems such as [[Google Apps]].

Crowd was originally designed and developed by Authentisoft (a [[Minneapolis]]-based software company) under the brand of IDX (Identity Exchange), and is now actively maintained by [[Atlassian Software Systems]] who acquired Authentisoft in July 2006.
