Symptom
- Starting with Google Chrome version 141, a new security restriction disables local network access for iframes by default.
- This change could affect SAP Cloud for Customer (C4C) users whose Contact Center (CTI) solutions connect to local servers via iframe in the Live Activity view.
- Customers embedding local Contact Center widgets (e.g., Genesys) in C4C via iframe are now unable to establish the connection, resulting in CTI login failures and inability to accept calls.
Environment
- SAP Service Cloud Version 2
- SAP Sales Cloud Version 2
- Live Activity
- Agent Desktop
- Google Chrome version 141 and above
Reproducing the Issue
- Ensure access to a local intranet URL is available.
- Use Chrome 141 with the "Local network access restrictions" option enabled.
- Click on the C4C Phone icon and check whether the Contact Center iframe can connect to the Contact Center.
Cause
This behavior is caused by a third-party change introduced by Google Chrome, which restricts iframe access to local resources unless explicitly allowed by browser policy.
Resolution
- To allow iframe access to local servers in Chrome, administrators must configure Chrome Enterprise Policies on end-user machines.
- This configuration must be deployed and maintained by the customer's IT team. It is outside the scope of SAP application settings.
- Create or Edit Chrome’s Policy File:
- Windows: Use Group Policy or a .json file.
- macOS: /Library/Managed Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist
- Linux: /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/policies.json
- Add the Following Configuration:
{
"LocalNetworkAccessAllowedForUrls": [
"https://your-allowed-domain.com"
],
"LocalNetworkAccessBlockedForUrls": [
"https://your-blocked-domain.com"
]
} - Apply and Restart Chrome:
- Save the policy file.
- Restart Chrome.
- Visit chrome://policy to verify policies are correctly applied.
- Create or Edit Chrome’s Policy File:
