The Cirrus Identity Bridge is flexible, and can support both SAML and CAS protocols with one Bridge or separate Bridge instances per protocol when desirable for customer implementations.

Support for Multilateral SAML

The SAML Bridge supports both SAML and multilateral federation SAML - a gap for most enterprise Identity Providers. With the SAML Bridge, users utilize their institutional credentials to access applications provided through the eduGAIN federation (InCommon, Canadian Access Federation, GakuNin and other national federations).  These applications are targeted for trusted higher ed and research audiences.

Support for CAS

The CAS Bridge supports applications that require the CAS authentication protocol - another gap for most enterprise Identity Providers. With the CAS Bridge, users utilize their institutional credentials to access applications that require the CAS protocol.

 

Key Features & Benefits

  1. Enterprise Bridges seamlessly integrate with Entra ID, Okta and Duo SSO APIs to centralize configuration and provide a single pane of glass into SSO policies

  2. Consolidate and leverage enhanced security features in your primary Authentication Provider - MFA, logs, device management, etc

  3. Cloud hosted, highly available, 24x365 production support - no more upgrades or patching

  4. image 34

    Base subscription includes integration with all InCommon, CAF or GakuNin applications and up to 10 non-federation applications

  5. Focus and deepen staff skills

  1. Standalone Bridges can integrate with any SAMLv2 Identity Provider without API access for a decoupled approach

  2. Retire legacy Shibboleth, SSP, ADFS and/or CAS - reduce technical risk and eliminate costs

  3. edugain-circle

    Supports multilateral federation required by eduGAIN including InCommon, CAF, GakuNin and others

  4. Hundreds of implementations guided by our higher ed savvy Customer Success team with happy customers

  5. Rolling 90 days of log events available for viewing or download

Optional Add-Ons

Cirrus Identity has developed a Swiss Army Knife of Add-Ons that streamline implementations and offer flexibility for institutions of all sizes

DNS add-on

DNS Add-On

Speed up implementations with the DNS Add-On - redirect authentications from the existing Shibboleth or CAS service to the Bridge - no need to change existing applications or the existing federation registration. 

LogAPI icon

Log API Add-On

Improve security with the Log API Add-On - configure a REST API to stream event logs to your selected SIEM tool or other application.

Attribute icon

Attribute Add-On

Pull LDAP attributes into the assertion at the time of authentication with the Attribute Add-On.  Great solution when all your attributes are not in your primary Identity Provider.

Additional Bridge Products & Services

Since one-size does not fit all, Cirrus Identity also supports the following:

Config Analysis

Configuration File Analysis

Need help analyzing your currently integrated Shibboleth or CAS applications?  The Cirrus Identity Customer Success team will work jointly with the customer to identify the existing applications and authentication attributes - this helps you kick-start the configuration!
