      Your colleague, Renan Battaglin, suggested that I open this feature request (ref. https://support.atlassian.com/browse/CWDSUP-1991)

      Currently, Crowd is able to act as an OpenID Provider, through CrowdID.

      It would be nice if Crowd could also act as a Relying Party, so people could authenticate with Crowd using their AOL, Yahoo! or other external OpenID.

      Authenticating with an external OpenId should give access to the Atlassian services corresponding to the user's Crowd profile. That is, it should work as if the external OpenID were a CrowdId. It might be necessary that an administrator creates the Crowd profile for the user, but it should be an option to use an OpenID from an external provider to log in to this profile.

      This would allow sites running Atlassian products with SSO through Crowd to offer their users the ability to re-use their existing OpenID, rather than creating a new one with Crowd (which somewhat defeats the whole idea of a single OpenId to log in to multiple services and sites).
