Embedded iframe is prompted for security certificate - apache

Running WAMP and I'm trying to embed an iframe of an external website (mcmaster) in a dokuwiki and I'm getting a security alert that doesn't allow the site to be displayed. Security alert says the sites certificate isn't good, and I didn't get the option to allow the page in the iframe but if i opened in a new window i got the option to. So after allowing it just returns a blank screen. What do I need to enable or exception to add in Apache to allow the server to embed this website? Apologies if this is in the wrong stack but I assume this is a server issue not a coding issue, as other sites work fine with the syntax.

Android manifest simulation over https gives me an error

I've just installed an ssl certificate and the website is now available over https.
On the remote host there is a manifest file for "add to home button" but when I try to simulate it through the Chrome Developer Tools - Application section I get an error saying:
Site cannot be installed: the page is not served from a secure origin
I tried the solution proposed here Why does Chrome keep displaying "Site cannot be installed: the page is not served from a secure origin" in the console? but nothing changed since my setting were already: default.
Have you tried opening the Security panel on the page? It may be able to provide more info. Perhaps it's a mixed content issue (where the page is secure, but it requests insecure resources).

ADFS web authentication loop in IE

I have a mvc4 web app that sits behind ADFS 2.0 authentication, it's configured using the web.config file. The application can be visited by going directly to a URL or as an iframe inside of CRM 2013.
The application works in all (tested) browsers when visiting the URL directly, both redirection to login form and handing the user back to the web app with the proper information in the ClaimsIdentity.
However, when visiting the app as an iframe inside CRM2013, internet explorer goes into a continous login loop. You are asked to provide the credentials (which are the same as for logging in to CRM) and when you click ok you get redirected back to the same login page again, to my knowledge the app never receives the hand off.
In Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera the users are able to log into the application inside of CRM as well as outside without any problems (I'd even go as far as saying that it works better than expected for these browsers).
Does anyone have any idea of what I can try or what the problem could be for IE?
EDIT 1
I'm thinking it has to do with some security setting and am playing around with the settings in IE. Unchecking this box stops the login form from showing in IE at all and I get an empty page instead.
Is the iFrame on the same (sub)domain as the site inside? You can use Fiddler to view your redirect flow, are the cookies added as expected?
I've seen cookies that are overridden by the iFrame host, in that case you lose the auth cookie. Browsers react differently on same domain cookies.
Another problem might be X-Frame-Options, do you see any warning in the F12 console of IE?

how to include a certificate in my webbrowser app

I have made an app that will login automatically in the websites I use daily.
1 of them uses a security certificate which I have installed, when I browse it with IE I can accept the certificate and login, same with chrome, but when I browse with my app it will only show me
Navigation to the webpage was canceled
What you can try:
Refresh the page.
I'm thinking I have to somehow include that certificate on my app but I'm stuck, I've been googling about it but I can't find a straight answer.
I've read that the webbrowser control doesn't support HTTPS which the website I need to login is, if so is there any other way I can access the website within my app, maybe a different webbrowser control?
I'm using VB.net by the way.
some extra info:
I don't own the website so I cannot make any changes there.
I do have valid and legal access to the website using the certificate they issued for me.
The problem was I had browser.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = True
Somehow the browser control was taking the "Accept certificate" messagebox as script error.

Apache authentication, security exceptions and safari

I have apache authentication set up on a wordpress multi site instance, it works fine in firefox and chrome, you type in the username/pass once and then you can happily visit any page on the site. Unfortunately this is not the behavior in safari. Every time you go to another page, you must re-enter your credentials.
Is there some way I can look at the security exceptions for safari and set it to always trust the certificate or find some other setting to not ask for authentication on each page?

Facebook Connect button not showing up in Safari/Chrome

My implementation of Facebook Connect (just a simple login button, fb:login-button) works perfectly on Firefox and IE.
But the same button is not showing up in Safari/Chrome (Webkit).
Here's what's ironic. In my debugging effort, I saved the page (that contains fb:login-button) up as a static page and then load it in Safari. And the button shows up, everything works!
The exact same page (with the exact same HTML source) rendered by my PHP has no way for bringing up the button.
I'm trying hard to support Webkit here but I'm close to giving up. Can anybody help?
I found one more way this can occur (the blame-myself-for-being-stupid way); it's probably not common, but in the event is saves anyone else the hassle, here it is:
This symptom can also be caused by various security tools blocking facebook resources.
In my case, I'd installed Facebook Disconnect ages ago in Chrome as a plugin and forgotten all about it being installed. I also had a second installation of Chrome that was seemingly identical (but did not have Facebook Disconnect). The first would properly load the fb:login-button, and the other would not; took me ages before I looked at the plugins, because Facebook Disconnect didn't have an icon and so its presence was pretty easy for me to miss.
Here's what you'll see if some sort of security plugin is preventing facebook resources from loading. Just look at the html that renders in the browser using developer tools.
In a normal chrome session you'll end up with something like this:
<fb:login-button><a class="fb_button fb_button_medium"><span class="fb_button_text">Your text here</span></a></fb:login-button>
But in the version with facebook's resources disabled you'll end up with this:
<fb:login-button>Your text here</fb:login-button>
Like I said, pretty obvious in retrospect.
Had the same problem but it was not related to anything like a plugin or malformed content. It seems if you enable country filtering on your facebook page it has an issue with the like button, this should be fairly obvious. Facebook gets your location from your profile and not your IP address.
Make sure to disable country locking if you plan on using the social plugins.
This can be due to having ClickToFlash installed. Either disable it, or check "Automatically load invisible Flash views" in the ClickToFlash settings.
What we found out is that Safari (and maybe some older versions of Chrome or other WebKIT browsers) have a problem with Facebook's code using the innerHTML JS function if your page arrives with an XHTML response header (application/xhtml+xml).
Using text/html solves the issue.
In case of JSF2, which we use, the implementing the fix was as simple as wrapping the FB button like this:
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
...
<f:view contentType="text/html">
<fb:login-button>Login using Facebook</fb:login-button>
</f:view>
Facebook bug report here:
http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=5545
I had this problem with the Facebook button not showing at all and it took me forever to figure out what it was. Luckily after days of hair pulling I will now share the answer with everyone. In my situation I simply didn't have xfbml enabled. In my FB.init I had it set to false:
FB.init({
appId : 'app_id', // App ID
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : false, // parse XFBML
oauth : true // enable OAuth 2.0
});
I changed this to "true" (xfbml) and the login buttons works great now! :P Good luck!
This happened when I had the wrong domain in callback_url in config/facebooker.yml. Apparently it uses that to load the js files.
I had the same problem but I resolved it by making sure the URL in my app settings was exactly the same as the one for my site (i.e. it didn't work when I accessed my site without the www.).
I have tried every suggested solution here and it didn't work for me. But now I finally found the solution.
Facebook requires now a secured (https) for Canvas (Secure Canvas URL). The unsecured one will be deprecated soon.
Here is the main difference, Chrome doesn't like https connections with invalid certifications. On a localhost, it is very likely you have stunnel installed to allow https connection for the localhost. Firefox is ok with the self created SSL certificate and allows you to add an exception when trying to access that site. Chrome doesn't allow it out of the box.
When I load my app in Chrome the page is blank and I dont see any login button.
Click F12 and click the Netwrok tab in Chrome:
You see that the post request to your localhost is cancelled. DOUBLE Click on it.
Now you would see that chrome is blocking the localhost because of the certificate:
click on proceed anyway.
Now to back to your other tab and reload the page:
Chrome works now like Firefox and shows the login button.
