Access Checkmk view within an Iframe

In addition to this manual: https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/wato_user.html#_automatic_login_via_the_url we will show you when to use which URL for an automatic login via URL


If your site Apache is secured by cookie-based authentication

OMD[multisite]:~$ omd config show MULTISITE_COOKIE_AUTH
on


the URL for auto login needs to be set like this:

http://localhost/test/check_mk/login.py?_origtarget=/test/check_mk/view.py?view_name=allhosts&_username=cmkadmin&_password=cmk&_login=1

 

If your site Apache is secured by basic auth, the URL for auto login needs to be set like this:

http://cmkadmin:cmk@localhost/test/check_mk/view.py?view_name=allhosts


The same procedure for Nagios views presenting in an Iframe!

Debug HTTPS iframes

Problem

Since Werk #6774, it's not possible to use an HTTPS Iframe within Checkmk (this also affects nagvis). 

If you're considering doing this, please keep in mind that this is a security issue and not supported by us. 

Determine the issue

When opening an https Iframe within Checkmk, I get that message.


To find a better error message, please open the developer tools of the current browser, select the Header Console, and refresh the page. That is usually done with F12:

And the browser is also complaining about the missing CSP. 


Please keep in mind that a lot of Software/Pages do not want to be integrated as an Iframe due to security settings


Please also check the logs from the Checkmk site:

OMD[mysite]:~$ ls var/log/apache/
access_log  error_log  stats
