Before you can set up SSO with Crowd, you first need to integrate Jira with Crowd for user management. Refer to the Integrating with Atlassian Crowd recipe for details.

If you have already integrated Jira with Crowd, you will need to have the following information:

• The application name assigned to Jira in Crowd
• The password for Jira to access Crowd
• A copy of the crowd.properties file from the CROWD_INSTALL/client/conf directory
