Issue/Introduction

Error: This content is blocked. Contact the site owner to fix the issue.

 

Environment

Release : 21.2

Component : PM Web UI Admininistration/Configuration

Cause

We now no longer allow external links in browser views in PM by default. This is due to a new security setting

Resolution

You need to use the Manage Custom HTTP Headers

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/performance-management/21-2/securing/single-sign-on/Add-Custom-HTTP-Headers.html

 

Example:

 

To enable iframes (external URLs):

Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; connect-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; base-uri 'self'; frame-ancestors *; font-src 'self'; frame-src *|X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff|X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block|Referrer-Policy: strict-origin|Feature-Policy: 'none'|Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

 

Or you could do: WEBSITE-HOSTNAME is the hostname for external site. use https or http depending on external site

Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' https://WEBSITE-HOSTNAME; connect-src 'self' https://WEBSITE-HOSTNAME; img-src 'self' https://WEBSITE-HOSTNAME data:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; base-uri 'self'; frame-ancestors 'self'; font-src 'self'; frame-src 'self' https://WEBSITE-HOSTNAME|X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff|X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block|Referrer-Policy: strict-origin|Feature-Policy: 'none'|Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

Set remote value so DA gets the new headers also.

Note: if the remote site sets some headers, they can block being included in an external web portal page also
