Custom IAM Development for Higher Education.
Custom IAM development for higher education — eduPerson schema extensions, federated identity bridges, research collaboration identity, sponsored guest workflows, and the long-tail integration of student information systems, library catalogs, and research compute.
Drivers in higher education
- eduPerson schema extensions for institution-specific affiliations
- InCommon + eduGAIN federation bridges
- Research collaboration identity (Globus, ORCID, ROR integration)
- Sponsored-guest workflows beyond standard IGA capability
Regulations this combination must satisfy.
- FERPA
- NIST 800-171 (research)
- state privacy laws
Patterns we actually ship for higher education.
- Pattern · 01
eduPerson schema mapping to local affiliation taxonomy

Shibboleth IdP customization for institution-specific attribute release
- Pattern · 03
Research collaboration identity (Globus / ORCID / ROR) bridges
- Pattern · 04
Sponsored-guest workflow with named-sponsor + automatic expiry
Common questions.
Do you customize Shibboleth IdPs?+
Yes — attribute release policies, institutional affiliation taxonomies, federation-specific entity categories, and the long tail of edge-case authentication flows. Shibboleth remains the higher-ed federation default.
Can you integrate Globus / ORCID for research identity?+
Yes — Globus Auth federation for research compute access, ORCID for researcher identity persistence across institutions, ROR for research organization identity. Federated identity at the research-collaboration layer.
