The Cirrus Identity SAML Bridge allows you to leverage commercial identity solutions like Microsoft Azure AD, Okta, and Google and join national research and education identity federations like InCommon and other eduGAIN members.
Overview
Cirrus Identity is the Swiss army knife of digital identity management. We offer a suite of managed solutions that help organizations streamline access to digital resources for enterprise users and customers.
The Cirrus SAML Bridge is key for connecting Higher Ed and Research Identity Providers to national and international multilateral federations like InCommon and eduGAIN. If you use Microsoft Azure AD, Okta, or Google as your organization SAML Identity Provider, the Cirrus Bridge enables you to join a national federation like InCommon, the Canadian Access Federation, the UK Federation, etc. without running and managing any software locally.
National identity federations like InCommon provide trust frameworks that enable application providers to implement trusted SSO across multiple organizations at once.
Many commercial identity solutions, like Microsoft Azure AD, Okta, and Google do not support participation in multilateral federation.
The Cirrus SAML Bridge fills this gap!
The Cirrus Identity team collects some information about your organization and sets up your Bridge instance. We then walk you through configuration within the admin portal for the primary identity solution (Azure AD, Okta, Google), as well as registration of your Identity Provider in your national federation, like InCommon.
Standard pricing listed below includes only pricing for EDU, as this product is rarely needed outside the EDU market. Additional pricing tiers are available via Private Offer.
Highlights
- Federation without Frustration! Leverage your existing SSO solution and join InCommon or other identity federation
- Easy configuration! All configuration takes place within the admin portal for your enterprise SSO solution, such as Microsoft Azure AD, Okta, or Google
- Quick implementation! Set-up usually takes 2-4 weeks, and with our Custom DNS Add-on, you can keep your existing InCommon (or other federation) registration

Dimensions summary
You buy this product on an annual contract priced by the number of authentications per year. Authentication is the login event when a user signs in. Three tiers are available: 3,000,000, 4,500,000, and 6,000,000 authentications per year. You pick the tier that fits your expected yearly login volume. The count is annualized, so seasonal peaks and quiet periods average out across the year. As your login volume grows, you move to a tier with a higher authentication allowance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
An authentication is a single login event, when a user signs in with their institutional credentials to reach an application through the Bridge. Each sign-in counts as one. The tiers count total authentications across a full year, so all login events during the term add up toward your tier allowance.
The tiers act as annualized usage levels. Cirrus Identity annualizes authentications, so seasonal peaks and quiet periods average across the year rather than triggering charges at any single moment. If your averaged yearly volume grows past your tier, you move to a tier with a higher authentication allowance.
The base Bridge subscription includes integration with InCommon, Canadian Access Federation, or GakuNin applications, plus up to 10 non-federation applications. Support for additional applications beyond that count is available separately. The service is cloud hosted with 24x365 production support, so you avoid running your own on-premises infrastructure.
