Help! Error When Embedding a Site

Problem

Help! I’m getting this error when trying to embed a link. The link is in the correct format and does work in the browser.

Reasons

There are some websites that do not allow its content to be embedded in an iframe, for example, Facebook.com.

This is implemented by the owner of the website and therefore is not within Claromentis' jurisdiction to change.

 

How they've done this?

There is a special tag called The x-Frame-Options HTTP response header that can be used to indicate whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page in an iframe. A site can use this to avoid clickjacking attacks.

 

Is there a fix?

There isn't any fix to investigate, as the choice to allow embedding is up to the website owner.

Consider a workaround, however, linking the content via a Button or Image on an intranet page instead of embedding it, allowing your users to follow the desired URL from the Intranet still.

 

Although many of modern web application provides API (Application Programming Interface) that allows some level of integration including displaying content onto other sites.

If you have any specific requirements please submit a change request and one of our technicians can help you investigate.
