Yes, it does not work as Cognex does not allow embedding of the D900. I had a frustrating conversation with a couple of their Application Engineers explaining my need for that feature, however it does not seem like Cognex is too keen on adding it (they cite security issues that _may_ arise). ---

I wonder if you could put Nginx in front of the Cognex web HMI, strip any CSP or X-Frame-Options headers, and add your own that allowed embedding from the Ignition host... ---

What is this "dark magic" you speak of? Can you point me towards some documentation on how to go about trying this? ---

Setting up a proxy maybe, ive never really tried it > **[cors-anywhere](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cors-anywhere)** > > CORS Anywhere is a reverse proxy which adds CORS headers to the proxied request. Request URL is taken from the path. Latest version: 0.4.4, last published: 2 years ago. Start using cors-anywhere in your project by running \`npm i cors-anywhere\`. There... i htink this means you'll also have to run perspective through this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/1/419e12502ce13687e17ee07c4abe060826ba80a1.png) so `http://ipPRoxy:??/ipgateway/.../view` with the view iframe to` http://ipPRoxy/cognexIP` ---

This has now been solved in the D900 series natively with firmware changes on the Cognex side.
