Description

A jar to enable JForum to recognize Crowd auth token cookies and auto-login/register the user based on the data in Crowd.

Motivation - we use Crowd to manage users for Confluence, Jira, and SVN, and were using the Crowd authenticator to allow Crowd users to login to JForums. However, we wanted a few things beyond that. We wanted single sign-on so the user wouldn't have to sign in again. We wanted users who were removed from Crowd to be unable to login to the forums. We wanted the Crowd group memberships to be synced over to JForum so we can use the groups in Crowd to manage permissions in JForum.
