In an Avi Load Balancer SaaS environment, SAML authenticates the user to the Avi Load Balancer Controller UI. However, during debugging or even normal day-to-day operations, it can be useful to access the Controller’s CLI using SSH instead.
For more information on Accessing the Avi Load Balancer SaaS CLI, see Avi Load Balancer CLI Access to a SAML-Authenticated Avi Load Balancer Controller topic in the VMware Avi Load BalancerAdministration Guide.
