401 REST API with OKTA authentication

I am trying to use the REST API.  Our solution uses an saas installation and our authentication protocols require Okta confirmations as part of the login process.  I've been trying to use swagger and curl to access the api.  (I'm not sure if this is directly related to Okta).

Here are the calls that I have tried so far:

https://<appname>.saas.appdynamics.com/controller/api/accounts/myaccount

https://<appname>.saas.appdynamics.com/controller/api/auth?action=login

also with --user user@appname:pass flag in curl

When I supply my credentials, they are immediately rejected. 

Also, is it possible to setup RSA encrpytion keys to use the API?

Hi,

We understand you are using SAML authentication to access the APIs. As of now, we do not support accessing REST API using SAML user. We have an enhancement raised for this request. Please try using local login for now and let us know if you face any concerns with this.

Thanks,

Yogesh
