How SAML Authentication Works with Splunk AppDynamics

With SAML authentication enabled:

  1. You navigate to the Controller Tenant login page and enter your account name.
  2. The Controller Tenant redirects you to the external SAML IdP.
  3. From the IdP, you enter your credentials.
  4. The IdP redirects and logs you into the Controller Tenant.
To log in to the SaaS Controller Tenant UI, users require access to both the Controller Tenant and the IdP service through the network from their computer. You can configure the Controller Tenant to assign roles to authenticated users based on group attributes in their SAML responses. See Map SAML-Authenticated Users to AppDynamics Roles.
