Content Security Policies - Configuration

Additional rules need to be added into the Content Security Policy section in order to use the online/SaaS versions of Vizlib in QCS. These are commonly known as CSPs.

Note: For Enterprise offline versions of Vizlib products, this is not needed, since there are no external requests.


Figure 3: Content Security Policy


Navigate to Content Security Policy section and add three security policies with the following hostnames:

  • static.vizlib.com -> Vizlib's CDN use for static content (fonts, css, open-source libraries, etc.)
  • bouncer.vizlib.com -> Vizlib's Distribution Service (transfer of extension code & licensing)
  • collaboration.vizlib.com -> Vizlib Collaboration Service
  • templates.vizlib.com -> Vizlib templates
