Splunk AppDynamics supports identity federation with SAML 2.0, an open standard used by many IdPs. This identity federation enables single sign-on (SSO) with HTTP POST binding for the SAML request and HTTP POST binding for the IdP response.

The bindings have the following requirements:

• HTTP is the required transport. Optionally, you can also configure HTTPS transport.
• The Splunk AppDynamics Controller uses HTTP GET or POST for the authentication request for the sign-out message to the identity provider. The IdP also uses HTTP GET and POST to return the response.
