The Atlassian Crowd team is proud to present Crowd 1.6.
Crowd 1.6 introduces a new, more intelligent caching system that will improve performance of Crowd with LDAP, particularly for large and off-site directories.
This release also brings a quicker setup process for Atlassian applications. The Crowd Administration Console allows you to choose the application you want to integrate (JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo, FishEye or Crucible), prompts you for the necessary information and automatically adds the required directory and groups.
There are new directory connectors for OpenDS, Fedora Directory Server and OpenLDAP (based on the Posix/NIS schema).
You'll find a number of smaller improvements in this release too. More unusual characters are supported in the UI and in LDAP directories. Using Crowd's new authentication-related API events, you can create plugins that react when a user logs in, logs out, changes their password, and so on.
