Non-Federated Providers

Using non-federated authentication providers with Proxy.

What Are Non-Federated Providers?

A non-federated authentication provider is one which cannot be integrated using metadata from a supported Cirrus federation.

These providers are typically organizations that are not eligible or otherwise able to participate in a supported federation, such as:

  • Healthcare organizations attached to a higher education network
  • Partner state agencies
  • Customers of educational technology companies
  • Certain research partner institutions

Integrating A Non-Federated Provider

To integrate a non-federated provider, you must purchase a Proxy Connector. Each Connector supports a single integration with an authentication provider using the SAML protocol.

Please contact Cirrus Customer Success for help setting up a Proxy Connector.
