For example, a user logged in to BMC Helix Digital Workplace who wanted to open BMC Helix Virtual Agent, but received an error. | An administrator can enable the CSP Headers setting for a tenant. After that, the user can add custom CSP headers, values, and origins to the OAuth client. Custom headers help end users access BMC applications through iframes without CSP errors; therefore, users can seamlessly open BMC Helix Virtual Agent from BMC Helix Digital Workplace. For more information about the CSP Headers feature, see Setting up tenants. For more information about configuring custom headers in the OAuth 2.0 response, see Configuring OAuth 2.0. |
