User Administration on the Controller Tenant

Use the Controller Tenant Administration UI to manage users on a per-Tenant basis.

External Authentication

AppDynamics manages user credentials according to your authentication setup.

  • Local User—AppDynamics manages user account credentials 
  • LDAP User—You manage user account credentials via LDAP integration 
  • SAML User—You manage user account credentials via SAML integration 

You create and manage Local User accounts in the Tenant Administration UI. However, you can authenticate and authorize Tenant users with external LDAP or SAML-based authentication providers.

Authentication Options

Log in to the Tenant UI as an administrator and navigate to Settings> Administration > Authentication Provider.

By default, Tenant authentication is configured to the local authentication option, AppDynamics. With this configuration, AppDynamics manages the users and they authenticate through the AppDynamics Identity Provider (IdP) 

Alternatively, you can have an external LDAP or SAML system perform user authentication and authorization. 

Downloads

Use the Downloads page to obtain AppDynamics software packages for SaaS Controller Tenants that are available for your account.
