It depends on how fine grained you want to get in the process. The allow-from is deprecated and not supported in most current browsers. There are also levels of precedence depending on the browser when both x-frame-options and content-security-policy are in place. In many browsers, the content-security-policy will have higher precedence than x-frame-options if both are applied. There is an option in content-security-policy to apply specific domains allowed without flipping the switch entirely. It can be used in conjunction with x-frame-options with that caveat some browsers will apply x-frame-options first if used together (Safari is one example).

If I want to allow from multiple domains, what would that look like in the IdP's configuration?
