Cirrus Identity

Founded 2013

Connect enterprise identity providers to higher education federations and manage guest logins

You can use Cirrus Identity to connect modern cloud identity providers like Okta and Microsoft Entra ID to research and education federations like InCommon. The system lets universities retire legacy on-premise servers like Shibboleth and CAS without breaking existing campus applications. You can also grant secure external access for applicants, alumni, visiting scholars, and contractors without creating full institutional directory accounts for everyone. It bridges enterprise single sign-on tools with multilateral academic federations, ensuring researchers and external collaborators can log in with existing organizational credentials.
