PingCastle (Pro)

The PingCastle connector imports Active Directory security posture findings from a PingCastle Enterprise reporting server. DefectDojo creates a Record for each Active Directory domain the reporting server monitors, and that domain’s latest HealthCheck report supplies its findings.

This is a different category from most connectors in this list — identity and Active Directory posture, rather than application, cloud or container scanning.

Prerequisites

The PingCastle Enterprise API key — the same key your PingCastle agents use when they submit reports (the --api-key value passed alongside --api-endpoint). It is sent as the X-API-Key header.

Connector Mappings

  1. Enter your PingCastle Enterprise reporting server URL in the Location field — the same address your agents submit to via --api-endpoint.
  2. Enter the PingCastle Enterprise API key in the Secret field.
  3. Optionally, set a Minimum Severity to limit which findings are imported.

Each monitored domain becomes a Record. DefectDojo reads the same HealthCheck risk rules that the file-based PingCastle parser reads from a local XML export, so findings are consistent whichever route you use.
