Integration

Integrate the cass-profile into your website by nesting it into an iframe on your website.

<iframe id="iframe" width="100%" height="800" frameborder="0"></iframe>
<script>
    document.getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0].setAttribute("src", "cass-profile/index.html");
</script>

URL Parameters

To ensure the iframe is passing the correct origin, pass the origin into the iframe using a URL parameter, origin=window.location.origin.

Post Messages

CASS can operate using credentials and signals provided by the parent site. These credentials are passed into the iframe via a message, in order to avoid transmitting them over HTTP. Wait for a {message:"waiting"} message to be posted from the iframe.

$("iframe").ready(function () {
    $(window).on("message", function (event) {
        if (event.originalEvent.data.message == "waiting") {
            //Initialize the server and identity
            //Set framework alignment parameters
        }
    });
});

Setting the server

You must set the server and the identity to be used when accessing the server.

$("iframe")[0].contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify({
    action: "initIdentity",
    serverParm: selectedServer,
    nameParm: loggedInIdentityName,
    pemParm: loggedInPpkPem
}), window.location.origin);
