How to Associate a Pynt Scan to an Application in the Pynt Dashboard

To ensure your Pynt scans are linked to the appropriate application in the Pynt Dashboard, follow the steps outlined below. Proper association ensures better organization and relevance of the findings.

Using the Pynt CLI

1. Locate the Application ID:

   • Navigate to the Applications page in the Pynt Dashboard.

   • Find the desired application and note its Application ID.

2. Run the Pynt Scan with --application-id:

   • Include the --application-id flag in your Pynt CLI command.

   • Replace <application-id> with the actual ID obtained from the dashboard.

   Example Command:

   pynt [COMMAND] [OPTIONS] --application-id <application-id>

   Parameters:

   • [COMMAND]: The specific Pynt integration you wish to run.

   • [OPTIONS]: Any additional options required for the command.

   • <application-id>: The ID of the application to associate the scan with.

Configuring Postman Integration

If you are using Postman integration with Pynt, you need to set the application ID in the Pynt Postman collection variables.

1. Open the Pynt Postman Collection:

   • Download and import the Pynt Postman collection from the Pynt Postman workspace.

2. Set the Application ID:

   • Open the Variables section of the collection.

   • Locate the PYNT-ENTERPRISE-APP-ID variable.

   • Replace its value with the Application ID of the target application from the Pynt Dashboard.

   
3. Save the Changes:

   • Save the updated collection.

   • Proceed with the Postman workflows, ensuring scans are properly associated.

Verification

After running the scan:

• Navigate to the Applications page in the Pynt Dashboard.

• Open the target application.

• Verify that the scan results appear under the correct application.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your Pynt scans are correctly associated with the desired applications in the Pynt Dashboard, both through the CLI and Postman integration.
