The scenario outlined in this article assumes that you already have the following prerequisites:
In this article, you configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on in a test environment.
AppDynamics supports SP initiated SSO.
AppDynamics supports Just In Time user provisioning.
To configure the integration of AppDynamics into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add AppDynamics from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with AppDynamics using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in AppDynamics.
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with AppDynamics, perform the following steps:
Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.
Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > AppDynamics > Single sign-on.
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:
a. In the Identifier (Entity ID) text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://<companyname>.saas.appdynamics.com/controller
b. In the Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://<companyname>.saas.appdynamics.com/controller/saml-auth?accountName=<companyname>
c. In the Sign on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://<companyname>.saas.appdynamics.com/?accountName=<companyname>
Note
These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL and Sign on URL. Contact AppDynamics Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.
On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, click Download to download the Certificate (Base64) from the given options as per your requirement and save it on your computer.
On the Set up AppDynamics section, copy the appropriate URL(s) as per your requirement.
In this section, you'll create a test user called B.Simon.
B.Simon
.B.Simon@contoso.com
.In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use single sign-on by granting access to AppDynamics.
In a different web browser window, log in to your AppDynamics company site as an administrator.
In the toolbar on the top, click Settings, and then click Administration.
Click the Authentication Provider tab.
In the Authentication Provider section, perform the following steps:
a. As Authentication Provider, select SAML.
b. In the Login URL textbox, paste the value of Login URL..

d. Open your base-64 encoded certificate in notepad, copy the content of it into your clipboard, and then paste it to the Certificate textbox
e. Click Save.
In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in AppDynamics. AppDynamics supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There's no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in AppDynamics, a new one is created after authentication.
In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.
Click on Test this application, this will redirect to AppDynamics Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to AppDynamics Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the AppDynamics tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to AppDynamics Sign-on URL. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
Once you configure AppDynamics you can enforce session control, which protects exfiltration and infiltration of your organization’s sensitive data in real time. Session control extends from Conditional Access. Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
