Embedding DataHub UI in an iframe can be challenging due to authentication issues, especially if the login process is not handled correctly within the iframe. Based on the information from the data sources, here are some steps and considerations:

  1. Session Cookies and Authentication: When embedding an application with authentication in an iframe, the session cookies need to be shared correctly. According to <Slack Slack discussion>, you need to ensure that your session cookies are configured to be accessible by the iframe. This involves setting the following environment variables in your datahub-frontend container:

    AUTH_COOKIE_SAME_SITE="NONE"
AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE=true

  2. CORS and Security Policies: Ensure that your web server’s CORS policy allows the DataHub domain to be embedded in an iframe. This might involve configuring your web server to include the appropriate headers.

  3. Login Redirection: If you are being redirected to the login page after logging in, it might be due to the session not being maintained correctly within the iframe. This can happen if the session cookies are not set properly or if there is a mismatch in the domain settings.

  4. Troubleshooting: Check the browser console for any errors related to cookies or CORS. These errors can provide insights into what might be going wrong.

  5. Alternative Approaches: If embedding via iframe continues to be problematic, consider using a reverse proxy to handle authentication and session management outside of the iframe context. This approach can help manage cookies and sessions more effectively.
