Hi @pavani.suru,

I was able to find some existing info.

If you are trying to access the rest URL for a controller with no user logged session in the same browser session you would need to provide login details in the login popup as follows:
username: username@accountName
password: password

If you are trying from shell terminal refer doc for more details, Hope that information helps: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Use+Curl+to+Access+AppDynamics+REST+APIs

Note: the Doc link above is for older Controller versions, I don't know what Controller version you are on, so you *may* need to find the same Docs page for your current Controller version
