Hi,
yes, I use allow_embedding.
To have a more complete picture: my Grafana instance is running behind a reverse proxy (Traefik),
but it works fine as long as embedding is not involved.
Embedding also works fine if:
- As already said, I log into Grafana by accessing directly Grafana login and only after I visit the embedding page
- Or if security is not involved (i.e. I disable access control, making Grafana accessible without login)
Here follow my grafana.ini:

For embedding the panel via iframe, I do as follows:
<iframe frameborder="0" height="100" src="https://GRAFANA_HOST/shared/grafana/d-solo/SOEMTHING?orgId=1&refresh=5s&theme=light&panelId=49" width="30%">
The website has the same SSO mechanism (i.e. keycloak).
