# Access VDI App for Versions Lower than 9.0

This article describes how you can sign in to the VDI App through DEX if you are using a version of the Real-Time DX Console lower than 9.0. Note that for versions lower than 9.0, you can't sign in to the VDI App using a DEX account (email address), and enabling or disabling the login method **Sign-in to VDI & DaaS with LDAP** will have no effect.

If you are not using SAML SSO, a user must register their account with your VDI & DaaS environment before they can access the VDI App. A user can do this by either:

- [Signing in to the Real-Time Console](/tim-reorg/docs/sign-in-to-the-real-time-console).
- [Being added by a script](/tim-reorg/docs/add-controlup-users-from-solve).
- [Being added by syncing with an Active Directory Group](/tim-reorg/docs/sync-solve-users-with-an-active-directory-group).

After registering for their account, a user can sign in to the VDI App using LDAP.

## Signing in with SAML SSO

If a user has registered with your ControlUp organization using one of the methods above, they can sign in with SAML if the following attributes are sent by your IdP:

- `emailaddress`
- `givenname`
- `surname`
- `upn`

You can automatically register an account for a new user who signs in with SAML by configuring your IdP to send the following attributes. Users added with this method will have permission to access your VDI & DaaS enviornment if they belong to an Active Directory group that has been given permission to **Use Web Application** or **Manage Solve** in your Security Policy. After the user account has been created, a ControlUp admin can give the user the relevant permission.

- `emailaddress`
- `givenname`
- `surname`
- `upn`
- `sAMAccountName`
- `distinguishedName`
