Hi All,

I am very new to AppDynamics.

I am using 15 days trial version of AppDynamics SaaS controller.

I am trying to access AppDynamics Metric URL through RESTClient as below.

URL : https://<accountName>.saas.appdynamics.com/controller/rest/applications/MyApp/metrics

Basic Authentication : 

Username : username@accountName

Password: <password>

I am getting 401-Unauthorized error. 

Could any one please help me to understand how the authentication should be given while accessing through browser/RESTCliect/Postman.

Which type of authentication is used in AppDynamics RESTAPI?

Thanks,

Swapna

Generate the API client token and use it as Oauth2.0 token in REST Client
