Allowing Remedy SSO to authenticate applications in iframes

To allow RSSO to launch applications in iframes, you must configure RSSO server to allow launching applications from other domains.  

Use case overview

If you have an application which is launched from the parent application in an iframe, and you want to enable the RSSO authentication flow into the child application in that iframe, you must configure the Allow-From Domains option on the RSSO server. The following diagram describes this use case:

• hostname - Allowed for specified domain, ignoring port
• hostname:port - Allowed for exact match host:port
