When using Crowd to handle SSO for Google Apps, the user cannot change the password within Google Apps since he is directed to Crowd. This is a problem since non-web email clients use the Google Apps credentials and not Crowd. Either Google needs to provide a way to change their internal password while SSO is enabled or Atlassian needs to fix Crowd to update the internal Google password.

Hi daroc54,

  A URL for password changes must be provided in the SSO Settings before you can enable SSO for Google Apps. The intention is that the SSO application would take care of changing the SSO password (or the backend LDAP / AD / whatever password) as well as changing the Google Password so that the two are in sync.

  An SSO app can change the Google Password using an administrator account and the Google Apps Provisioning API.

Hello Daroc54

Jay is right. The application has to change the SSO password and also Google Apps password using Google Apps Provisioning API.

Thanks
