I am attempting to configure Swagger Authentication on my resource server, so that I can authenticate against my authorization server.
I have the resource and authorization servers separated. They are both starting up on my localhost with different ports.
Resource Server on port 8083
Authorization Server on port 8081
Whenever I attempt to "Authorize", there is a CORS issues.
I forked a project from another website to use as my testing grounds. Below is the forked project.
https://github.com/cbriarnold/oauth2-spring-boot-2.0.2
To test, once both the authorization server and resource server are started, do the following:
Go to http://localhost:8083/swagger-ui.html
Click on "Authorize" button
Click on "Authorize" button in dialog
If you have the developer tools open, you will see that there is the CORS error
Access to fetch at 'http://localhost:8081/oauth/token/' from origin 'http://localhost:8083' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: Redirect is not allowed for a preflight request.
The http status code associated with the above CORS error was 302.
So, I modify the source to try to permitAll (I know this is undesired from a security perspective, but I am just trying to figure out what is going on). I will receive the same CORS error, but with the https status code of 403. Code is found on the following branch.
https://github.com/cbriarnold/oauth2-spring-boot-2.0.2/tree/permitAll
Any suggestions?
I think you need to add #CrossOrigin(/*your hitting server*/) on your controllers
it's a chrome security check to see if your are permitted to talk with that server or not it sends an option request at first and if you're permitted it send your original request which is accessing swagger
if you want to make sure if that is a cross origin problem or not try to send that request via postman because postman send your request direct without option request at first

I'm getting 403 error on each custom rest api while executing the sharepoint login.
Could you please share with me a solution with an example?
This error comes
{"error":{"code":"-2147024891,
System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Access
denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access
this resource."}}}
Most probably you need to add proper authentication context to each API request and the most common way to protect the API from unauthorized usage is requirement to have valid Authorization header.
Inspect the outgoing requests to your custom API using your browser's developer tool and pay attention to the request headers in the "Network" tab, I believe you should see the aforementioned "Authorization" header or Cookie header or something like this.
In your JMeter script you can add custom headers to your requests using HTTP Header Manager
JMeter should handle Cookies automatically given you add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan.
I am using websockets to communicate between server and client. I followed this documentation to implement websocket dependecy. Now when I try to connect via example client page it produces the following error:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at '....' from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy: The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.
I have tried adding .setAllowedOrigins("*") to WebSocketConfig but it didn't fix this. What is the solution?
As the error message says you are sending a request with credentials set to include, I guess you are sending some kind of token/access data with your request.
When doing so your server must respond with the correct origin. If you are in development try setting your localhost. For example .setAllowedOrigins("http://localhost:8080") or what ever you are using. In production you need to replace that with your deployment url.
You might find success with .setAllowedOriginsPattern("*").
See the following documentation for more stricter patterns.
I am using Postal PIN Code API for getting Post Office(s) details search by Postal PIN Code in angular 5 application. Below is the url of the external API :
http://postalpincode.in/api/pincode/{**PINCODE}**
I am issuing a GET request from the application but it is giving me below error :
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:4200' is therefore not allowed access
Although this request is working perfectly fine from browser and postman. I understand that we need to configure our server with cross-domain policies for accepting cross-domain request but this is an external API and I don't have control over it. How can I resolve this issue?
Thanks in Advance !!
Best: CORS header (requires server changes) CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is a way for the server to say “I will accept your request, even though you came from a different origin.” This requires cooperation from the server – so if you can’t modify the server (e.g. if you’re using an external API), this approach won’t work.
Modify the server to add the header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * to enable cross-origin requests from anywhere (or specify a domain instead of *). This should solve your problem.
2nd choice: Proxy Server If you can’t modify the server, you can run your own proxy. And this proxy can return the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header if it’s not at the Same Origin as your page.
Instead of sending API requests to some remote server, you’ll make requests to your proxy, which will forward them to the remote server.
Here are a few proxy options.

I'm building an MVC web app that uses the openID Connect hybrid flow to authenticate with Identity Server 3. The MVC web app contains jQuery scripts to get async JSON data from een ApiController. That ApiController is part of the same MVC web app.
I don't want that everyone is able to access the data from the API, so I want to secure the API as well. I added an [authorize] attribute to the ApiController. When requesting the API with a JQuery ajax request I get the following error message:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load
https://localhost:44371/identity/connect/authorize?....etc.
Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested
resource. Origin 'http://localhost:13079' is therefore not allowed
access. The response had HTTP status code 405.
But, when I do a request to the API method directly in browser, I will be correct redirected to the Login page of Identity Server..
So, what's exactly the problem here? I read something about that requesting the /authorize endpoint is not allowed via 'back-channel', but I don't understand what's the difference between 'front-channel' and 'back-channel'. Is it possible that I mixed up the wrong OAuth flows? Is the Hybrid flow not the correct one maybe?
I also find out that the API is often a seperate app, but is it always neccessary / best-practice to build a seperate API app that for example requires a bearer token?
Please point me in the right direction about this.
The authorize method on your identity server does not allow ajax calls. Even specifying CORS headers is not going to help you in this particular case. Perhaps you could return a forbidden response instead of a redirect and manually redirect the client to the desired location via window.location
You need to allow your IdentityServer to be accessed from other domains, this is done by allowing "Cross Origin Resource Sharing" or CORS for short. In IdentityServer the simplest way to allow this is in your Client configuration for your Javascript Client, see this from the IdentityServer docs on CORS:
One approach to configuing CORS is to use the AllowedCorsOrigins collection on the client configuration. Simply add the origin of the client to the collection and the default configuration in IdentityServer will consult these values to allow cross-origin calls from the origins.
The error you're seeing is the browser telling you that when it asked IdentityServer if it allows requests from your Javscript client, it returned a response basically saying no, because the origin (http://localhost:13079) was not specified in the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" response header. In fact that header wasn't in the response at all meaning CORS is not enabled.
If you follow the quickstart for adding a JavaScript client from the docs here all the necessary code is detailed there that you need for the Client config and to setup IdentityServer to allow CORS.
I have implemented a restful service. I have tested it using an ajax request within the application and also with postman client and both worked. But when i try to send an ajax request from a different application i get the below error in browser console.
http://localhost:8080/AusIncomeCalculator/AUSTax/post. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8089' is therefore not allowed access.
I don't understand how the postman client get a successful response while the other applications cannot.
RESTful service is hosted in JBOSS-eap 7.0 with rest easy
What happen is for security reasons, browsers restrict cross-origin HTTP requests initiated from within scripts.Postman is a REST Client that runs as an application inside the Chrome browser. It is specifically designed for testing rest APIs, and therefore it doesn't restrict cross origin resource request.
