1. Download the openfire-crowd-auth-module jar and place it in your Openfire installation under the /lib folder

2. Copy the crowd-integration-client-*.jar from crowd/client to the lib folder as well

3. Copy crowd.properties and crowd-ehcache.xml from crowd/client/conf to openfire/conf and configure it

4. Boot up Openfire and configure the following System Properties within Openfire:

    provider.admin.className = net.fosterzor.openfire.crowd.admin.CrowdAdminProvider
    provider.auth.className = net.fosterzor.openfire.crowd.auth.CrowdAuthProvider
