Usermenu and iframe / SameSite Cookie

Post by HansR »

One of the ideas behind the Usermenu setup was that one could load an external site into the ReportView area with the use of an <iframe> construction. I used this specifically with EFFIS (European Forest Fire Information System).

However a security measure (the SameSite Cookie) which is apparently currently penetrating the web may prevent this unless the site builder explicitly tells its app to set a cookie with the attribute: SameSite=None; Secure. Most large app builders probably won't.

The implementation is already supported by all major browsers and apparently site/app builders are setting their cookie attributes accordingly.

So if you are using external websites to be viewed in the ReportView, be prepared for the effect it won't store it's cookies anymore and the website won't show. If you wish to keep the menu choice, the only possibility is to view it as a link (<a> tag in a target=_blank) outside the CUtils website.
