Included with Heronix Core Suite
Hub is included free with your Heronix SIS or Scheduler purchase. No additional licensing required.
Production Ready
Heronix Hub
Single Sign-On launcher for all Heronix applications. Log in once, access everything. 100% offline authentication with no cloud dependencies or per-user licensing fees.
How Hub Works
One Login. All Applications.
1. User Logs In
User opens Hub desktop application and enters username/password. Credentials validated locally with BCrypt security.
2. Token Generated
Hub generates a JWT token valid for 8 hours (full school day) and saves it to a shared file location.
3. Launch Apps
User clicks product tiles (SIS, Scheduler, etc.). Each app reads the token and auto-authenticates - no re-login needed.
Key Benefits
Why Hub Changes Everything
No Cloud Authentication
Unlike Okta or Auth0, Hub doesn't require internet connectivity or third-party authentication services. Everything runs locally on your network.
No Per-User Licensing
Unlimited users with no per-seat SSO fees. Unlike commercial SSO providers that charge per user per month, Hub is included with your Heronix license.
Complete Privacy
Authentication happens entirely on your local network. No credentials or tokens are sent to external authentication providers.
Simple Integration
Other Heronix products automatically detect Hub tokens. No complex SAML or OAuth configuration required.
