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 browser also produces an error about the missing Content-Secuirty-Policy (CSP). Please keep in mind that many 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/
