Docusign not loading in Iframe

Hi,

We're attempting to use DocuSign within an iframe, but it occasionally fails to load properly. Has anyone experienced this issue before or know why it happens intermittently?

 

I read this article but wanted to know why it happens intermittently?

I'm currently unable to reproduce the issue, but I recall it was related to a frame-ancestor: self error.

Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Content-Security-Policy/frame-ancestor

That error used to appear every time I refreshed the page, even though the page rendered correctly—so I'm not entirely sure if it's directly related to this issue.

Are you embedded signing for focused view? Have you read this document?

https://www.docusign.com/blog/developers/15-minutes-to-better-ux-enhancing-embedded-signing-focused-view#augmenting-the-experience:-docusign-js-and-focused-view

and the these two parameter should setup.

    "frameAncestors": ["https://my.site.com", "https://apps-d.docusign.com"],
"messageOrigins": ["https://apps-d.docusign.com"]

could you check it?

We are currently using the default display. Instead of using an iframe, we are going to open the DocuSign URL in a new tab to avoid potential issues in the future as mentioned in article.

https://www.docusign.com/blog/developers/new-browser-security-settings-and-iframes’(‘Usually a better solution is either to redirect the browser to the signing ceremony’s URL, or to open a new tab in the browser for the signing ceremony’ ).

Thanks for your help.

Yes, that’s good idea,  loading a Docusign page in a new tab can really reduce a lot of problems.
