How to edit LDAP settings outside of AppDynamic Controller GUI? (4.1)

I have been working on a Chef recipe that creates an AppDynamic 4.1 Controller from scratch. The recipe is modeled after the old AppDynamic Controller recipe (https://github.com/edmunds/cookbook-appdynamics) with some major tweaks. I had been counting on the being able to modify the LDAP configuration in AppDynamic Controller in xml files, but I don't see them anymore and see no reference to them in the 4.1 documentation. Has this information been moved into the MQSQL database?

 

I noticed several tables in application referencing LDAP tables. If that is true, has anyone successfully set them up? I really don't want to have to keep setting up LDAP manually if I can. If not, did I miss something?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

We could see still LDAP authentication mode can be selected from Setup -> Administration -> Authentication provider as referred in below screenshot from 4.1 UI, I am not aware of information on update from mysql db update and we do not recommend updating settings from controller mysql db , let us know if there is any disconnect

How do I not do it via GUI though? In the past, you could modify this information in xml files. The idea is I need the ability to set it up without manually keying it in GUI. It needs to be automated.
