Permissions for SSO iframe

Question

We are developing an ATM locator extension that loads an external web application in iframe using the recommended SSO Extension approach.
So far, so good, but we have run into 3 questions we need help with so far:

Permissions for the SSO iFrame
When we normally load this web app into an iframe, we are able to set a mission-critical attribute for the iframe to allow geolocation permissions so that GPS/Browser Geolocation search will work in our Javascript. This is normally done either explicitly in an HTML iframe tag, or by creating an iframe tag with javascript and adding attributes. E.G. frame.setAttribute("allow", "geolocation");

How can we add this geolocation permission to the SSO iframe?

Title for Overpanel
When our external web app URL is loaded in an overpanel (by setting RENDER_IN_NEW_WINDOW = False) there is a large whitespace along the top of the overpanel (inline with the X close window button) that is presumably missing content. This seems like the right place to put formatted title text, E.G. "Branch & ATM Locator".

What is the recommended way to assign and style that title content? I haven't been able to find any documentation about that.

Boolean FI Config Inputs for RENDER_IN_NEW_WINDOW
Rather than hard code RENDER_IN_NEW_WINDOW = False, we would like to leave it up to each FI as an input parameter during installation so they can choose to show our locator in an overpanel or in a new tab using the VENDOR_CONFIGS array. This seems to work as an input, but I think we are probably getting it as a string input instead of a boolean.

What is the correct way to get a Boolean input from the installing FI for VENDOR_CONFIGS and then how can we properly assign that value to set the SSO to open in an overpanel or a new tab based on the supplied True or False value?

Thanks for any help!

Regarding 3 it s probably just easiest with the way the product is set up to request the render in new window true false at deploy time for an FI The variable in the extension hints to the installer whether to set a database flag as true or not on installation as you pointed out But we have the ability to flip that database flag at any time So while it s listed in the extension for convenience as a way for the dev to message to the one installing the extension later who might also be you in a sandbox stack for instance they can be controlled separately The VENDOR CONFIGS are a great way to have things stored in the database passed to the extension at runtime but it s a bit of a chicken and egg usecase here Can t seed the database with things from the database If you just list this in extra data or whatever that field is called on your deployment ticket we ll make sure to get it set up correctly when installed

Hi Jason regarding question 1 geolocation and camera permission are enabled already as default for extensions do you have any issues with that you can just open a sdk ticket so we can track it down And regarding question 2 do you use openURL capability to open your external web app with showInOverpanel true we provode setTitle capability so people can set own title on own extension but if it s an external app we don t support it yet but you can still request a new feature by opening sdk ticket Thanks Alex
