[javascript] CORS: credentials mode is 'include'

Yes, I know what you are thinking - yet another CORS question, but this time I'm stumped.

So to start off, the actual error message:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost/Foo.API/token. 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'. Origin 'http://localhost:5000' is therefore not allowed access. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.

I'm not sure what is meant by credentials mode is 'include'?

So when I perform the request in postman, I experience no such error:

But when I access the same request through my angularjs web app, I am stumped by this error. Here is my angualrjs request/response. As you'll see the response is OK 200, but I still receive the CORS error:

Fiddler Request and Response:

The following image demonstrates the request and response from web front-end to API

So based on all the other posts I've read online, it seems like I'm doing the right thing, that's why I cannot understand the error. Lastly, here is the code I use within angualrjs (login factory):

CORS Implementation in API - Reference purposes:

Method 1 used:

public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        EnableCrossSiteRequests(config);
    }

    private static void EnableCrossSiteRequests(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        var cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("*", "*", "*")
        {
            SupportsCredentials = true
        };
        config.EnableCors(cors);
    }
}

Method 2 used:

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
    HttpConfiguration config = new HttpConfiguration();

    ConfigureOAuth(app);

    WebApiConfig.Register(config);
    app.UseCors(Microsoft.Owin.Cors.CorsOptions.AllowAll);
    app.UseWebApi(config);

}

Many thanks in advance!

The answer is


If you're using .NET Core, you will have to .AllowCredentials() when configuring CORS in Startup.CS.

Inside of ConfigureServices

services.AddCors(o => {
    o.AddPolicy("AllowSetOrigins", options =>
    {
        options.WithOrigins("https://localhost:xxxx");
        options.AllowAnyHeader();
        options.AllowAnyMethod();
        options.AllowCredentials();
    });
});

services.AddMvc();

Then inside of Configure:

app.UseCors("AllowSetOrigins");
app.UseMvc(routes =>
    {
        // Routing code here
    });

For me, it was specifically just missing options.AllowCredentials() that caused the error you mentioned. As a side note in general for others having CORS issues as well, the order matters and AddCors() must be registered before AddMVC() inside of your Startup class.


Just add Axios.defaults.withCredentials=true instead of ({credentials: true}) in client side, and change app.use(cors()) to

app.use(cors(
  {origin: ['your client side server'],
  methods: ['GET', 'POST'],
  credentials:true,
}
))

If it helps, I was using centrifuge with my reactjs app, and, after checking some comments below, I looked at the centrifuge.js library file, which in my version, had the following code snippet:

if ('withCredentials' in xhr) {
 xhr.withCredentials = true;
}

After I removed these three lines, the app worked fine, as expected.

Hope it helps!


Customizing CORS for Angular 5 and Spring Security (Cookie base solution)

On the Angular side required adding option flag withCredentials: true for Cookie transport:

constructor(public http: HttpClient) {
}

public get(url: string = ''): Observable<any> {
    return this.http.get(url, { withCredentials: true });
}

On Java server-side required adding CorsConfigurationSource for configuration CORS policy:

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Bean
    CorsConfigurationSource corsConfigurationSource() {
        CorsConfiguration configuration = new CorsConfiguration();
        // This Origin header you can see that in Network tab
        configuration.setAllowedOrigins(Arrays.asList("http:/url_1", "http:/url_2")); 
        configuration.setAllowedMethods(Arrays.asList("GET","POST"));
        configuration.setAllowedHeaders(Arrays.asList("content-type"));
        configuration.setAllowCredentials(true);
        UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource source = new UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource();
        source.registerCorsConfiguration("/**", configuration);
        return source;
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.cors().and()...
    }
}

Method configure(HttpSecurity http) by default will use corsConfigurationSource for http.cors()


If you are using CORS middleware and you want to send withCredentials boolean true, you can configure CORS like this:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var cors = require('cors');    _x000D_
app.use(cors({credentials: true, origin: 'http://localhost:5000'}));
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
