Spring Boot JWT CORS with Angular 6

I am using JWT in my Spring Boot app. When I try to login from the Angular 6 client, I get the CORS error

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost:8082/login' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: It does not have HTTP ok status.

I tried adding headers for "Access-Control-Allow-Origin, I even tried using some chrome extensions and still it couldn't bypass the CORS. I can access the login API with Postman and get the token.

Spring Boot Classes

WebSecurityConfig.java

@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    private UserDetailsService userDetailsService;
    private BCryptPasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder;

    public WebSecurityConfig(@Qualifier("customUserDetailsService") UserDetailsService userDetailsService, BCryptPasswordEncoder bCryptPasswordEncoder) {
        this.userDetailsService = userDetailsService;
        this.bCryptPasswordEncoder = bCryptPasswordEncoder;
    }

        @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {

            http.csrf().disable().authorizeRequests()
                    .antMatchers(HttpMethod.POST, SIGN_UP_URL).permitAll()
                    .anyRequest().authenticated()
                    .and()
                    .addFilter(new JWTAuthenticationFilter(authenticationManager()))
                    .addFilter(new JWTAuthorizationFilter(authenticationManager()));
    }


    @Override
    public void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(bCryptPasswordEncoder);
    }

WebConfig.java

@Configuration
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
    @Override
    public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry corsRegistry) {
        corsRegistry.addMapping( "/**" )
                .allowedOrigins( "http://localhost:4200" )
                .allowedMethods( "GET", "POST", "DELETE" )
                .allowedHeaders( "*" )
                .allowCredentials( true )
                .exposedHeaders( "Authorization" )
                .maxAge( 3600 );
    }

}

JWTAuthorization.java the class that gives access to user

@Order(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE)
public class JWTAuthorizationFilter extends BasicAuthenticationFilter {

    public JWTAuthorizationFilter(AuthenticationManager authenticationManager) {
        super(authenticationManager);
    }


    @Override
    protected void doFilterInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
        String header = request.getHeader(HEADER_STRING);
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE");
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Max-Age", "3600");
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true");
        response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin,Accept,X-Requested-With,Content-Type,Access-Control-Request-Method,Access-Control-Request-Headers,Authorization");

        if (header == null || !header.startsWith(TOKEN_PREFIX)) {
            chain.doFilter(request, response);
            return;
        }


        UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken authenticationToken = getAuthenticationToken(request);
        SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(authenticationToken);



        chain.doFilter(request, response);

    }



    private UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken getAuthenticationToken(HttpServletRequest request){
        String token = request.getHeader(HEADER_STRING);

        if (token != null) {
            // parse the token.
            String user = Jwts.parser()
                    .setSigningKey(SECRET)
                    .parseClaimsJws(token.replace(TOKEN_PREFIX, ""))
                    .getBody()
                    .getSubject();
            System.out.println(user);
            if (user != null) {
                return new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(user, null, new ArrayList<>());
            }
            return null;
        }
        return null;
    }
}

JWTAuthenticationFilter.java the class that handles the login request and returns the token

public class JWTAuthenticationFilter extends UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter {
    private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;

    public JWTAuthenticationFilter(AuthenticationManager authenticationManager) {
        this.authenticationManager = authenticationManager;
    }

    @Override
    public Authentication attemptAuthentication(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws AuthenticationException {
        try {
            User user = new ObjectMapper().readValue(request.getInputStream(),User.class);
            return authenticationManager.authenticate(
                    new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(
                            user.getUsername(),
                            user.getPassword())
                    );

        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }

    }

    @Override
    protected void successfulAuthentication(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, FilterChain chain, Authentication authResult) throws IOException, ServletException {
        String username = ((org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User) authResult.getPrincipal()).getUsername();
        String token = Jwts
                .builder()
                .setSubject(username)
                .setExpiration(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + EXPIRATION_TIME))
                .signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS512, SECRET)
                .compact();

        System.out.println("TOKEN: " + token);

        String bearerToken = TOKEN_PREFIX + token;
        response.getWriter().write(bearerToken);
        response.addHeader(HEADER_STRING, bearerToken);

    }
}

Postman example that works

enter image description here

Here is how I make the post request to login that gives me the error

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class AuthenticationService {
  public apiURL:string="http://localhost:8082";

  constructor(private httpClient:HttpClient) { }

  validateUser(user:User){

    let userData = "username=love"+ "&password=12345" + "&grant_type=password";
    let reqHeader = new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });

    const data = new FormData();
    data.append("username", user.username);
    data.append("password", user.password);

    console.log(data);


    return this.httpClient.post<User>(this.apiURL + '/login',data,{headers:reqHeader});
  }

  storeToken(token: string) {
    localStorage.setItem("token", token);
  }
  getToken() {
    return localStorage.getItem("token");
  }
  removeToken() {
    return localStorage.removeItem("token");
  }
}

Also the User interface in Angular

export interface User {
  username:string;
  password:string;
}

Since message is about your preflight request i.e. OPTIONS request,

I guess, you need to do two things on server side / Spring Boot code ,

  1. Return OK from Authentication filter so need to add below in attemptAuthentication method as first check i.e. don't do real authentication for preflight requests,

if (CorsUtils.isPreFlightRequest(httpServletRequest)) { httpServletResponse.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK); return new Authentication() ; //whatever your token implementation class is - return an instance of it
}

CorsUtils is - org.springframework.web.cors.CorsUtils

  1. Let Spring Security Enter Authorized Options requests into System so add these lines in Security Config ,

.authorizeRequests().antMatchers(HttpMethod.OPTIONS, "/**").permitAll()

You can allow unauthorized OPTIONS requests too but I guess , that wouldn't be a good idea. Also, try to narrow down "/**" to specific URLs if possible.
