Question

I m trying to create a user administration API for my web app  When I send an API call from my frontend to my backend  a cors error occurs  How can the cors problem be solved  I ve read a lot of threads  but I haven t made any progress   Error after createUser   API call  Access to XMLHttpRequest at  http   localhost 8080 user create   from origin  http   localhost 4200  has been blocked by CORS policy   Response to preflight request doesn t pass access control check   Redirect is not allowed for a preflight request    Angular header config ts  export const HTTP OPTIONS       headers  new HttpHeaders        Content-Type     application json        Access-Control-Allow-Credentials     true        Access-Control-Allow-Origin             Access-Control-Allow-Methods    GET  POST  PATCH  DELETE  PUT  OPTIONS        Access-Control-Allow-Headers    Content-Type  Access-Control-Allow-Headers  Authorization  X-Requested-With             Angular rest-user service ts    public createUser         return this httpClient post this USER ENDPOINT    create   HTTP OPTIONS         SpringConfig class   Configuration  EnableWebMvc public class SpringConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer         Override     public void addCorsMappings CorsRegistry registry            registry addMapping                   SpringSecurityConfig class   Configuration public class SpringSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter          Override       protected void configure HttpSecurity http  throws Exception           http authorizeRequests   anyRequest   authenticated            and   oauth2Client            and   oauth2Login               UserRestController class   PostMapping   user create    ResponseBody  ResponseStatus HttpStatus CREATED  public void createUser Principal principal  throws UserAlreadyExistsException       userServiceFacadeImpl createUser principal getName         Network Message    UPDATE 20 06 19    private createUser          const headersObject   new HttpHeaders         this oktaAuth getAccessToken   then   value    gt           headersObject append  Authorization    Bearer     value         headersObject append  Content-Type    application json           const httpOptions             headers  headersObject                 this httpClient post  http   localhost 8080 user      create   null  httpOptions

If you are using Spring as Back-End server and especially using Spring Security then i found a solution by putting http cors    in the configure method  The method looks like that  protected void configure HttpSecurity http  throws Exception           http                  csrf   disable                    authorizeRequests      authorize                  anyRequest   authenticated      all requests are authenticated                  and                    httpBasic             http cors

You have to set the http header at the http response of your resource  So it needs to be set serverside  you can remove the  HTTP OPTIONS -header from your angular HTTP-Post request

CORS headers should be sent from the server  If you use PHP it will be like this   header  Access-Control-Allow-Origin  your-host    header  Access-Control-Allow-Credentials  true    header  Access-Control-Allow-Methods  your-methods like POST GET    header  Access-Control-Allow-Headers  content-type or other    header  Content-Type  application json

Since the originating port 4200 is different than 8080 So before angular sends a create  PUT  request it will send an OPTIONS request to the server to check what all methods and what all access-controls are in place   Server has to respond to that OPTIONS request with list of allowed methods and allowed origins    Since you are using spring boot  the simple solution is to add   allowedOrigins  http   localhost 4200      In your spring config class   Configuration  EnableWebMvc public class SpringConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer         Override     public void addCorsMappings CorsRegistry registry            registry addMapping        allowedOrigins  http   localhost 4200              However a better approach will be to write a Filter interceptor  which adds the necessary headers to each response

You may need to config the CORS at Spring Boot side  Please add below class in your Project   import javax servlet Filter  import javax servlet FilterChain  import javax servlet ServletRequest  import javax servlet ServletResponse  import javax servlet http HttpServletRequest  import javax servlet http HttpServletResponse   import org springframework context annotation Configuration  import org springframework web servlet config annotation CorsRegistry  import org springframework web servlet config annotation EnableWebMvc  import org springframework web servlet config annotation ResourceHandlerRegistry  import org springframework web servlet config annotation WebMvcConfigurer    Configuration  EnableWebMvc public class WebConfig implements Filter WebMvcConfigurer           Override     public void addCorsMappings CorsRegistry registry            registry addMapping                     Override     public void doFilter ServletRequest req  ServletResponse res  FilterChain chain          HttpServletResponse response    HttpServletResponse  res        HttpServletRequest request    HttpServletRequest  req        System out println  WebConfig    request getRequestURI           response setHeader  Access-Control-Allow-Origin               response setHeader  Access-Control-Allow-Methods    POST  PUT  GET  OPTIONS  DELETE          response setHeader  Access-Control-Allow-Headers    Content-Type  Access-Control-Allow-Headers  Authorization  X-Requested-With observe          response setHeader  Access-Control-Max-Age    3600          response setHeader  Access-Control-Allow-Credentials    true          response setHeader  Access-Control-Expose-Headers    Authorization          response addHeader  Access-Control-Expose-Headers    responseType          response addHeader  Access-Control-Expose-Headers    observe          System out println  Request Method    request getMethod           if    request getMethod   equalsIgnoreCase  OPTIONS                 try                 chain doFilter req  res               catch Exception e                  e printStackTrace                        else             System out println  Pre-flight              response setHeader  Access-Control-Allow-Origin                   response setHeader  Access-Control-Allow-Methods    POST GET DELETE PUT              response setHeader  Access-Control-Max-Age    3600              response setHeader  Access-Control-Allow-Headers    Access-Control-Expose-Headers   Authorization  content-type                USERID   ROLE                      access-control-request-headers access-control-request-method accept origin authorization x-requested-with responseType observe              response setStatus HttpServletResponse SC OK                         UPDATE   To append Token to each request you can create one Interceptor as below   import   Injectable   from   angular core   import   HttpEvent  HttpHandler  HttpInterceptor  HttpRequest   from   angular common http   import   Observable   from  rxjs     Injectable   export class AuthInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor      intercept req  HttpRequest lt any gt   next  HttpHandler   Observable lt HttpEvent lt any gt  gt        const token   window localStorage getItem  tokenKey       you probably want to store it in localStorage or something       if   token          return next handle req              const req1   req clone         headers  req headers set  Authorization      token                  return next handle req1            Example

You can just create the required CORS configuration as a bean  As per the code below this will allow all requests coming from any origin  This is good for development but insecure   Spring Docs   Bean WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigurer         return new WebMvcConfigurer              Override         void addCorsMappings CorsRegistry registry                registry addMapping                             allowedOrigins
