Hi,

I have a simple HTML page which have a simple iFrame tag as below:

I am trying to load system dashboard of CRM in an iFrame on my application. I have tried all the following links in src of iFrame:

Online:
https://<crmip>:<port>/workplace/home_dashboards.aspx

https://<crmip>:<port>/dashboards/dashboard.aspx?dashboardId=2701DE60-8F2A-48A4-8262-4A35CA7441FA&dashboardType=1030&pagemode=iframe

https://<crmip>:<port>/workplace/home_dashboards.aspx?dashboardId=2701DE60-8F2A-48A4-8262-4A35CA7441FA

On-Premises:

http://<crmip>:<port>/workplace/home_dashboards.aspx

http://<crmip>:<port>/dashboards/dashboard.aspx?dashboardId=2701DE60-8F2A-48A4-8262-4A35CA7441FA&dashboardType=1030&pagemode=iframe

http://<crmip>:<port>/workplace/home_dashboards.aspx?dashboardId=2701DE60-8F2A-48A4-8262-4A35CA7441FA

When embeding any of the above links in an iFrame I got the following:

On-Premises CRM show a login pop-up of Windows Authentication, after entering the correct credentials it shows 'Access is Denied' AND 'Permission Denied' on the console window of browser

Online CRM shows in iFrame that 'This content cannot be displayed in a frame'

When I access all the above URLs directly by typing them on the browser address bar it works.

Does MS CRM doesn't allow us to embed the dashboards in an iFrame?

Thanks for your reply Rajkumar Rajaraman

But i don't want to display a report in a dashboard. I want to embed my existing dashboard URL to my web application using iFrame (or something better)

If you want to access CRM page ,it is required to Pass credentials ..one one you can try is to go to Internet Setting -> Security -> Internet -> Custom Level and select Authentication mode Automatic .It would work if you are in the same premise of CRM.

Thanks Alok Srivastav for your reply.

I am already getting a pop-up and I don't have any issue with the windows authentication pop-up.

I have tried your thing but still it doesn't work. Automatic Authentication mode still not allowing me to access dashboard URL using an iframe in my application

Hi mate,

Is your host Web Application, where the iFrame is hosted, using SSL/HTTPS?

I know that when interacting with CRM Online both sides must be secure HTTPS.

Not sure if that's at all on the right track, but hope you can figure out a solution.

Cheers,

Dan

For CRM online, at least, you can't embed CRM dashboard into an iframe on another site - you'll see exactly this error:

This content cannot be displayed in a frame

For the on-prem, it might work, but you may have to modify some files on the server to modify X-Frame-Options as described here:
