Where is X-FRAME-OPTIONS: DENY coming from on Djan

Question

My Django site uses django-summernote in iframes, and is throwing this error:

Multiple 'X-Frame-Options' headers with conflicting values ('SAMEORIGIN, DENY') encountered when loading 'http://example.com/summernote/editor/id_comment_text/'. Falling back to 'DENY'.

I can't figure out where the DENY is coming from.

In my Django project settings I have:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ...
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
    ...
)

which: "By default, the middleware will set the X-Frame-Options header to SAMEORIGIN for every outgoing HttpResponse."

I also added this in my nginx.conf (from here):

add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;

Other possibly relevant info: The problem arose when I upgraded my server from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, and by project's virtual environment from Python 3.4 to Python 3.5. The version of Django and django-summernote are still the same.

How do I find the source of this DENY setting?

Answer 1

In my case the issue was in the file: /etc/nginx/snippets/ssl-params.conf

Just had to comment out: add_header X-Frame-Options DENY;
