Spring boot application : local URL doesn’t load in an IFrame

Posted on April 13, 2017 by Sreekumar Kj

Problem : Application URLs (local urls) not loading in iframe inside an application UI.

Reason : Spring sets the X-Frame-Options to Deny by default.

Fix : Allow Same-origin-URLs in frames.

In Security configuration, add –

[java]
http
.headers().frameOptions().sameOrigin()
.and
.//other configs

[/java]
