Welcome Page - Iframe

Hithead · ‎03-21-2013

Hello,

we want to include a (external or internal) website via iframe in the welcome page. My test HTML site:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect Welcome Page</TITLE>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles/falcon_content.css?v=@@version">
<style>
td {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: black; /*#FFFFFF; */
}
.msg {
    background-color: #ffff99;
    border-width: 2px;
    border-color: #ff0000;
    border-style: solid;
    padding-left: 20px;
    padding-right: 20px;
    max-height: 150px;
    height: expression( this.scrollHeight > 150 ? "150px" : "auto" ); /* sets max-height for IE */
    overflow: auto;
}
.alert {font-weight: bold;color: red;}

</style>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#F2F6FA">
<div align="center">
<h1>Palo Alto Networks - GlobalProtect Welcome Page</h1>
<h1>VPN-LAB1</h1>

<iframe src="http://www.whatismyip.com" width="70%" height="400" name="Test">
</iframe>

</div>

<div id="formdiv">
</div>
</BODY>
</HTML>

With this config it shows me just a white frame without any content....

Is some one familiar with this kind of confgiuration?

Hello,

this code is the original one from PA. I exported the welcome page, modified it (see in the first post - the red letters) and then import it back. Its not the code of "view source"....

Hithead · ‎03-26-2013

"When a webpage is loading an iframe, it displays a white background until when the iframe’s page is loaded". This is what happen with the first source code i posted.

Tried another html code:

<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
<style>
div{background-color:red; padding:5em;}
</style>
</head>

With this code i can see, that GlobalProtect doesn't try to load the welcome page iframe...

Could you verify with tcpdump or by running live http header or similar plugin within your browser how the http headers that are being sent towards your client looks like?

Im thinking if any of Security Headers on the Top 1,000,000 Websites: March 2013 Report could be a cause of this behaviour?

Hello,

find in the attachment the live http log. Used my firefox.

IE and Firefox don't have any problems to display the HTML code (the last i sent). The GP Agent Welcome Window is the problem. It doesn't matter if i insert any internal oder external website - it doesn't want to load the iframe.

Hi,

just sniff the traffic with wireshark during the client connects with GP and the welcome page appears. No any HTTP request are made. So it seem like the welcome page is a offline thing....Sadly! Or PaloAlto blockes any content loading in the Welcome/Help Page....really sadly...
