Embed to Website

From QPR ProcessAnalyzer Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

QPR ProcessAnalyzer can be embedded to another website, such as Microsoft Sharepoint. The embedding is based on the iframe html element. By default, QPR ProcessAnalyzer only allowes to be embedded by a website in the same origin that is restricted by the Content-Security-Policy HTTL header. More information how to change the CSP setting in Security Hardening.

Example webpage

This is a simple example page containing an iframe element that embeds QPR ProcessAnalyzer.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <iframe src="https://processanalyzer.company.com/qprpa/ui/#/dashboard?sys:dashboardIdentifier=/MyProject/MyDashboard" height="600" width="900"></iframe>
  </body>
</html>

Change CSP frame-ancestors setting

By default, the Content-Security-Policy HTTL header frame-ancestors directive is set to self', allowing the parent website where QPR ProcessAnalyzer is embedded to, to be located in the same origin. If the parent website is in another origin, the CSP needs to be changed as follows (allowing to embed QPR ProcessAnalyzer in the example.com website):

frame-ancestors 'self' example.com;

If the CSP prevents the embedded website from showing, there will be a descriptive error message in the browser console. It contains details which CSP directive didn't allow to open the page.
