Question

Hi

I would like to know if Crowd is the only option for single sign on for all the Atlassian products?

Thanks

Kathy

Yes. All the guides are here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Overview+of+SSO

So the answer is basically: "Yes, but it's a whole lot easier if you use Crowd".

I came here to link to the same page that @Rodrigo Sogari [Atlassian] did, but I will add a little bit more detail.

Those instructions describe how to do SSO for those applications that use the atlassian-seraph library.  JIRA and Confluence definitely use that library. I'm less familiar with Bamboo, but it appears to use atlassian-seraph as well, so the instructions should be similar to those for Confluence, but with a different class names for the base authenticator (presumably BambooAuthenticator).

Stash definitely does *not* use atlassian-seraph; however, it provides its own plugin points for doing custom authentication, as described in this other answer: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/11467425/how-can-i-integrate-sso-with-stash-application
