How to disable 'X-Frame-Options' response header in Spring Security?

By default X-Frame-Options is set to denied, to prevent clickjacking attacks. To override this, you can add the following into your spring security config

<http>    
    <headers>
        <frame-options policy="SAMEORIGIN"/>
    </headers>
</http>

Here are available options for policy

• DENY - is a default value. With this the page cannot be displayed in a frame, regardless of the site attempting to do so.
• SAMEORIGIN - I assume this is what you are looking for, so that the page will be (and can be) displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself
• ALLOW-FROM - Allows you to specify an origin, where the page can be displayed in a frame.

And here to check how you can configure the headers using either XML or Java configs.

Note, that you might need also to specify appropriate strategy, based on needs.

If you're using Java configs instead of XML configs, put this in your WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter.configure(HttpSecurity http) method:

http.headers().frameOptions().disable();
