CORS Error When adding Authorization header


I'm building an Angular app that calls a .Net Core webapi. I have been able to set it up to be able to successfully call back and get a response with using CORS. But when I add the Authorization header to the Angular interceptor it throws the following error.

Error Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost:57120/api/values' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

C# Startup - Configure method

app.UseCors(
            options =>
            {
                options.WithOrigins("http://localhost:4200");
                options.WithHeaders("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true"); 
                options.AllowCredentials();
            }
        );

Angular HttpInterceptor

const token =  localStorage.getItem('access-token');
    
const clone = request.clone({
      headers: request.headers.set("Authorization", "Bearer " + token),
      withCredentials: true,
      
});

return next.handle(clone);

Solution

  • You have a wrong startup configuration . Try to use a named cors policy and change your app.UserCors to anotner syntax:

      app.UseCors("CorsPolicy") 
    
    services.AddCors(opt =>  opt.AddPolicy("CorsPolicy", c =>
                { 
                    c.AllowAnyOrigin()
                       .AllowAnyHeader()
                        .AllowCredentials()
                        .AllowAnyMethod();
                }));
    

    If it works you then can replace c.AllowAnyOrigin() by options.WithOrigins("http://localhost:4200");
