Cirrus Identity Information

Universities, global research organizations, and big corporations have people outside their core group of enterprise users that need access to online services. Managing these external user accounts is costly to the enterprise and frustrating for the end user. That is where Cirrus Identity comes in. We make secure, easy to integrate, cloud-hosted identity products to give those users easy access to internal enterprise services. The Cirrus Gateway is our most popular tool, and enables easy integration of social identities, like Google, LinkedIn, and Facebook with enterprise Single Sign-On solutions. Our gateway is used by many universities and global research companies to allow parents, external research collaborators, prospective students, alumni, and others to access campus services and research projects using their existing social identities. The Gateway eliminates the need for these external users to create new usernames and passwords, removing user frustration and common support tickets for forgotten usernames and passwords. The Cirrus Account link service is all about making the connection between one user and multiple digital identities. If you provide an option to login with multiple social identities, people may forget WHICH social identity they have previously chosen. Our Account Link service helps make it easy to tag each social identity with a specific user so they can forget every time and never experience a challenging login process. We have several more services to make access ridiculously easy for you external users. Common Use Cases: Universities: Alumni engagement, parent access to pay tuition, student applicants, continuing education students. Global Research Collaboration: Research projects that involve scientists and researchers around the globe Enterprise companies: External auditors and consultants that need access to company systems and information
