How to Embed an Apex website on my HTML Website

Question

I have an Apex application which I use for CMS of my website, I want to embed this on my website when a user logs in.

I have tried using an iframe however the APEX Application does not show in the iframe.

What is the correct way for embedding an APEX Application inside an HTML website?

Answer 1

In the APEX Application manager there is a setting to allow browser embedding this must be enabled in order to embed in an iframe. I had overlooked this setting when trying it.

Answer 2

As a new user of APEX it was not clear exactly where to find the setting mentioned by the OP. For APEX 5 I found the setting to enable iframes as follows:

1. Open APEX in your browser (for example, my URL is http://some-host:1337/ords )
2. Login to your workspace as an administrator
3. Click on Application Builder
4. Click the name of the application you want to enable to open it
5. On the title bar where your application name appears, click on Edit Application Properties (button to the right)
6. Toward the top, locate the link for Security and click it
7. Scroll down to the Browser Security section or click on the tab labeled Browser Security
8. Assuming it says Deny , change it to Allow or Allow from same origin
9. Press Apply Changes

Once this is complete you should be able to embed a URL for that specific APEX application in the src="[apex_url]" attribute of an iframe.

Note: Choosing Allow vs Allow from same origin depends on whether or not your application is running on the same host / root URL. In my case, the iframe was served from a different URL thus I chose Allow . Out of scope for this question but, for security reasons, you probably need to consider the implications of allowing this in your own environment.
