Targets

Learn how to add targets in MindFort, verify domain ownership via DNS, and manage credentials, login instructions, and target context values.

Add a Target

1. Go to Target Inventory.
2. Add target name and domain.
3. Optionally include description, credentials, and login instructions.
4. Save.

Verify Domain Ownership

1. Open target details.
2. Go to the DNS section.
3. Copy the TXT verification token.
4. Add it in your DNS provider.
5. Return and run Verify.

A target must be verified before normal dashboard workflows continue.

Manage Target Details

From the target detail page, you can:

• edit target name and description
• edit login instructions
• add, edit, and delete stored credentials
• add, edit, and delete target values (key-value context fields)
• review DNS verification state

Target Scope

Target details define the default testing scope for assessments and tasks. Keep the target domain, login instructions, credentials, and target values current so agents understand the authorized application boundary.

Use target values for context that is required to stay in scope, such as:

• tenant slug
• organization ID
• workspace ID
• environment name
• account number
• required feature flag or region selector

Document any included or excluded areas before launching a run. For detailed scope and guardrail guidance, see Scope and Guardrails.

Credentials in Target Details

In Stored Credentials, you can:

• add new credentials
• edit existing credentials
• remove credentials

Use dedicated test credentials only.

Login Instructions

In Login Instructions, document the exact login path so MindFort agents can log into the target and continue testing authenticated areas reliably.

Delete Target

Use Delete Target only when you intentionally want to remove this target from active use.
