Why can't I find the Ownership verification card on my target?

Why this happens

Ownership checks apply to black-box scans, which test a live URL with no source code. A white-box target is different, because it points at your own repository and Cyberlop clones that code when the scan starts. So the target page for a white-box target has no Ownership verification card at all. Its absence tells you the target has a repository, not that something went wrong.

How to fix it

1. Go to Targets. Click Targets in the sidebar and select the target's name.
2. Look at the Repository row. In Target details, see whether Repository shows a web address or a dash.
3. Read the result. An address means white-box, so no card is expected. A dash and the line "No repository configured" mean black-box, so the card should be there.
4. Scroll the page. The card sits below Target details and above the Scan profiles list. Scroll down if your window is small.
5. Create a black-box target if that is what you need. Targets cannot be edited, so click + New target, choose Black-box and create a fresh one.

Still not working?

The card shows a green Verified badge once ownership is confirmed, and it states that black-box scans can run.

If your target has no repository and still shows no card, check that you are in the right workspace and signed in with a role that can see targets. After that, write to /contact with the target name and we will look into it.
