Example of how to authenticate and embed Pyramid content.
For Embed on Pyramid 2020.11 please see this link.
Below is a simple example of a web page that displays Pyramid content and authenticates to the Pyramid Embed API in order to create a cookie for authentication. You must have the embed add on included in your licence for the embed feature to work.
1) Replace the div tag with one of your report div tags as shown in the screenshot below:
Click on the Action panel on the content you want to embed>Click on the "embed" icon">choose copy without the script (see attached screenshots)
2) Add a username and password from your pyramid system that has access to the content. If you need to add your AD domain name it should be included with the username so domain\\UserName
3) Update the 2 lines in bold to your Pyramid 2018 URL
Its important to note that the file you create should be saved as a html file and run from a web server.
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<!-- add the jquery & js-cookie scripts -->
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-cookie/2.2.0/js.cookie.min.js"></script>
<div data-id="cee1d574-1a9c-48d1-8825-2bae245c4f12" data-type="discovery" class="pyramid-embed pyramid-auto" style="width:1000px;height:400px;" data-host="http://PyramidURL.com"></div>
<script>
function GetAuthentication(userName, password) {
var credentials = {data: {userName: userName, password: password,domain: document.domain}};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http:// PyramidURL.com /API2/auth/authenticateUserEmbed",
data: JSON.stringify(credentials),
}).done(function(token){
Cookies.set('PyramidEmbeddedAuth', token);
pyramidInit();
});
};
if (Cookies.get('PyramidEmbeddedAuth') == null) {
GetAuthentication("USERNAME", "PASSWORD");
}
</script>
<script src="http://PyramidURL.com/no-shell/embed.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

The embedding is quite easy, but how to define sensible CSP when you want to embed Pyramid? The current JS implementation seem to require both unsafe-inline and unsafe-eval to actually work at all. And to top that there is out dated JQuery libraries still being used.

There is nothing unsafe about this code. Its a very basic example given to the user community so they can better understand how to put together an embedded content experience with authentication - especially for modern single-page JavaScript apps.
You are free to write any code you want and to shift the authentication to a compiled code behind model if you want to go the 'older' approach. I suggest you take a look at the help for more information -both covering the embed solutions, embed APIs and the REST API framework for security.
And, for the record, the JQuery library version is almost irrelevant. Change it to whatever you want.

Look at using the Embed APIs and NPM.
