Using iframe to Invoke an Adobe Connect-hosted URL

Make sure that the iframe reference is formatted correctly.

When referencing an a meeting archive recording, it is best to first move an archive from under its parent meeting to the Connect Central content library before referring to it via iframe.

Do not let the URL of the archive recording redirect to Connect Central login page. To bypass the login screen you may either parse a username and password as a parameter in the URL or you may set permissions on the referenced content URL in Connect Central to allow for public viewing.  The latter option is usually the best. To avoid exposing the genuine user’s password as plain text in a GET request, it is usually best to simply make the recording public in Connect Central then link it. Alternatively, you may also create a new user in Connect Central with no other permissions except access to the referenced URL.

Referencing content in Connect Central that is set to public viewing:

<iframe src=http://connectdomainname.adobeconnect.com/customurl1″></iframe>

Referencing content by parsing a username and password:

<iframe src=”http://connectdomainname.adobeconnect.com?login=username@adobe.com&password=userpassword&account-id=12345678” width=”600? height=”600?></iframe>

When referring to multiple URLs whether archives or MP4s or other Connect-hosted links, be sure to use a separate iframe reference for each Conenct URL rather than attempting to wrap all URLs in a single iframe reference. For example, two public links together in a table might look like this:

  <tr>
    <td width=”600″><iframe src=”http://connectdomainname.adobeconnect.com/customurl1″></iframe></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><iframe src=”http://connectdomainname.adobeconnect.com/customurl2″></iframe></td>
  </tr>
