CORS pre-flight fails for new tenant / universal login

Help
1

I am seeing this error in the browser running my SPA:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://naboo.auth0.com/authorize?client_id=xxxxxxDNNEQS2NyxHxYxxxxx&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A4004%2Fapi%2Fauth%2Fauth0%2Fcallback&response_type=code&scope=openid+profile+email' (redirected from 'http://localhost:4004/api/auth/auth0') from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Here is the pre-flight request that occurs just before the redirect to Auth0 universal login would occur (and immediately before the CORS error occurs):

Request URL: https://naboo.auth0.com/authorize?client_id=xxxxxxxNNEQS2NyxHxxxxx&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A4004%2Fapi%2Fauth%2Fauth0%2Fcallback&response_type=code&scope=openid+profile+email

The Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is not returned by Auth0.

In my Auth0 regular web application I have Allowed Web Origins and Allowed Origins (CORS) both set to http://localhost:3000 and, as you can see from the request above, that is the origin specified in the pre-flight request.

Why is Auth0 not returning Access-Control-Allow-Origin header with a value of http://localhost:3000?

Hi @DaveMuirhead,

It looks like this could be a browser issue like this SO issue:

Otherwise, can you share more about your setup? Which auth0 SDK you are using, which versions, how you are making the request (code can be helpful).

Can you let me know if this is the problem?

Thanks,
Dan

The pre-flight request I showed was executed using Curl. I intentionally factored all JavaScript frameworks out of the equation. So there is no Aurh0 SDK I’m the game at all in the case above.

However I will try the remedy in the linked post.

Okay, so I followed the idea in the linked post and added the following to /etc/hosts on my laptop:

127.0.0.1	localhost dave.brsg.io

And I added http://dave.brsg.io to Allowed Web Origins and Allowed Origins (CORS) in my Auth0 regular web application settings.

Then I ran the curl command again:

[502][davem: /Users/davem]$ curl -H "Origin: http://dave.brsg.io:3000/"  -H "Access-Control-Request-Method: GET"  -H "Access-Control-Request-Headers: X-Requested-With"  -X OPTIONS --verbose https://naboo.auth0.com/authorize?client_id=xxxxxxxDNNEQS2NyxHxxxxxxx&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A4004%2Fapi%2Fauth%2Fauth0%2Fcallback&response_type=code&scope=openid+profile+email

I still did not get an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in the response.
