Single Sign-On, OpenID Just Got Easier With Crowd 1.2

Atlassian has announced the release of Crowd 1.2, the latest version of their centralized authentication, single sign-on and OpenID application. The latest release gives system administrators greater control over directory permissions and additional features for use with OpenID, Subversion, Acegi and more. Crowd 1.2 now allows for greater customization of permissions. Crowd's new directory permissions allow finer-grained control, so that permissions can be defined per application.

Other new features in Crowd 1.2 include:
- Group and role membership browser that includes tabs to show all principals belonging to a group/role;
- Improved browser for OpenID that allows for easier viewing of your login history;
- NTLM support, allowing users to simply log in to their desktop and access Atlassian JIRA and Atlassian Confluence without another login;
- Group-based authorization added for Subversion;
- New importer for Atlassian Bamboo users that allows administrators to copy Bamboo users into a Crowd directory.
