Log into report without LDAP account

Hi All,

I am trying to access a report on appdynamics via a linux command line (CURL).
This is to produce an alert based on the stall count metric

curl -s -uUSERNAME@customer1:PASSWORD "http://10.159.16.195:8090/controller/rest/applications/REPORTNAME/metric-data?metric-path=Overall%20...

This command will work correctly with a domain account... however we do not have a generic domain account that can be used.
We do have an AppDynamics account that can be used, but for some reason this is not accepted.
Does anyone know how this can be enabled without switching all of the logins to AppDynamics rather than LDAP?

Thanks!

Hi Chirs,

The AppDynamics Controller UI imposes role-based access controls to users. The Controller can authenticate user credentials against local user accounts or by relying on an external LDAP server or SAML-based authentication provider. So, to access the REST APIs, the user must be part of either of these authentication providers. Please refer to the following document link for the details https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/User+Authentication+and+Permissions

Please let  me know if you have any further questions. 

Thanks,

Venu.
