Doing the Crowd SSO installation for different Atlassian products like JIRA,Bamboo,Confluence etc for Single sign on.

But having one query i.e. if Crowd independently manage SSO or it require the Apache server installation to support this feature.

Please provide answers with facts.

No, Crowd does not require Apache in order to provide single sign on across Atlassian applications.

(I'm a Crowd developer, but in case you don't trust me, here's our documentation on e.g. connecting JIRA: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Integrating+Crowd+with+Atlassian+JIRA )

You only need Apache if you'd like to integrate subversion access using Apache (or something else with Apache) and you want to use the Crowd Apache connector to authenticate users in Apache according to Crowd's userbase. Or to put it another way: you only need Apache if you want to integrate Apache, so if you don't want to use Apache, you won't need Apache. (That's a lot of "Apache"!)
