Why can't I integrate a website into iFrame on RDrive?

You may find that, on occasion, you are unable to add a website into RDrive's iFrame Dashboard feature. This can happen when the website has been created so that it can only be integrated via iFrame by a user within that domains group.

For the purposes of this article, we want to publish a website be shown via iFrame. When adding this to the customers dashboard suite, the visual returns as shown below.

This means that the website has refused to be embedded as an iFrame. A look at the console error log will show that this is not possible to be embedded in a frame because it set 'X-Frame Options' to 'sameorigin'.

This means that only sites from the same domain are able to embed it as an iFrame.

If this site is hosted by the Client you can advise them of this error message and have them change the 'X-Frame Options' headers on their side.
