WebApi Swagger (Swashbuckle) - can't access Swagger UI when connecting through proxy - c#

I have a swagger (Swashbuckle) enabled on one of my API controllers.
Server sits on http://192.168.7.119:1001 and Swagger UI is accessed through http://192.168.7.119:1001/swagger.
When connecting locally, everything is fine and I can access Swagger UI on port 1001 as expected.
But when trying connect throug proxy on port 1000 (which redirects 1000 to 1001), I get a well known error:
"Can't read from server. It may not have the appropriate access-control-origin settings".
I have read this:
Unable to access swagger despite cors enabled Asp.NET WebAPI
and tried to set the RootUrl manually in Startup file, within Swagger like this:
.EnableSwagger(c =>
{
c.RootUrl(req => #"http://192.168.7.119:1001";
...
});
CORS settings are set as:
appBuilder.UseCors(Microsoft.Owin.Cors.CorsOptions.AllowAll);
Any hints what am I doing wrong here?

Putting together this two pages from github repos of Swashbuckle the easy way to do what you're asking is:
From Github Make sure that your proxy is sending the X-Forwarded-* headers (Apache does it out of the box while Nginx doesn't seems so. You have to do some changes on the nginx conf.
From Github. Create this HttpRequestMessageExtensions static class with the ComputeHostAsSeenByOriginalClient method and then
.EnableSwagger(c =>
{
c.RootUrl(req => req.ComputeHostAsSeenByOriginalClient());
...
});

Consume third party API with Blazor WebAssembly [duplicate]

I have a blazor web assembly which fetches from an external API built on ASP.NET Core which I do not have access to. I can perform get requests, but cannot perform post requests. I get the following error when I do.
Access to fetch at 'http://external:9000/User/Create' from origin 'http://localhost:56138' 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. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
The author of the api confirms he enabled cors to allow any header in his startup and also suggested I do the same but this did not fix the issue. I confirmed from the debugger I am sending the right data format the endpoint requires and I am also running on http scheme same as the web service.
This is the client configuration in program.cs
builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri("http://external:9000/") });
builder.Services.AddCors(policy =>
{
policy.AddPolicy("_myAllowSpecificOrigins", builder => builder.WithOrigins("http://external:9000/")
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowCredentials());
});
This is how I post
var dataJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(application);
var stringContent = new StringContent(dataJson, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var response = await _httpClient.PostAsync($"User/Create", stringContent);
I have read this is a common problem with blazor assembly, I'm not entirely sure of what I read. I am currently trying to move the project to blazor server to see if it would work, but I would prefer it on web assembly.
builder.Services.AddCors(policy =>
{
policy.AddPolicy("_myAllowSpecificOrigins", builder => builder.WithOrigins("http://external:9000/")
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowCredentials());
});
This configuration should be done on a Server, and not yours but the server of the external API. You do nothing in that regard, except call end points on that Web Api.
The author of the api confirms they enabled cors to allow any header in his startup
If so, ask them for the code for confirmation...
and also suggested I do the same but this did not fix the issue.
You do nothing of the sort.
Workaround solution:
AS CORS is a security feature of JavaScript enforced by the browser, you can circumvent it by calling your Server code from which you perform the call to this Web Api end point, and then returns it back to your WebAssembly front-end. Use asynchronous code as much as you can.
Update as per comment
Are you saying I should have two projects, the server and the client under one solution? The server calls the calls the external api, then passes it to the client. Is this what your last suggestion is?
If you're using WebAssembly Blazor App hosted wherein the hosting server contains Web Api controllers, then you should expose end points that can be called from your WebAssembly front-end. The code in these end points should perform the HTTP calls to the external Web Api, and pass back to the WebAssembly calling methods the data received from the external Web Api.
Note: If you don't have such controllers ( they are created by default by Visual Studio), you may add them yourself to the server project.
If you already have created a Web Api project instead of those controllers, then expose the necessary end points from your Web Api project. Note that it makes no difference whether your Web Api project resides in the same solution of the WebAssembly front-end, as long as you provide the correct Url.
If you're using WebAssembly Blazor App stand alone; that is, the default installation does not create a Server project, you'll need to create a Web Api project and use it, unless you've already created one.
You are working with localhost so you should use this configuration to your Server:
builder.Services.AddCors(policy =>
{
policy.AddPolicy("_myAllowSpecificOrigins", builder =>
builder.WithOrigins("http://localhost:56138/")
.SetIsOriginAllowed((host) => true) // this for using localhost address
.AllowAnyMethod()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowCredentials());
});
//
app.UseCors("_myAllowSpecificOrigins");

Problem on CORS configuration with Web Api 2, OWIN and Identity Server

I have a few web applications under the same domain, all using a stand alone Identity Server 3 app for login purposes. Under test environment, every single one of then are under the same domain (http://192.168.100.1, or by dns http://companyServer).
Recently, one application needed to request some data from another app, and I found the following error when debugging on Visual Studio:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://companyServer:60000/MyApp/Api/Company/Info?parameter=123. (Reason: CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' not present).
We have a central library responsible for configuring Web API on our systems, it has the following (among other things):
public static IAppBuilder UseCebiUtilWebApi(this IAppBuilder app, CebiWebApiOptions options)
{
Logger.Debug("Configuring Web API");
app.UseCors(CorsOptions.AllowAll);
...
}
On the same method, we also configure Identity Server.
I also checked on my Login Server App, and there is the following code regarding CORS:
public class CompanyCorsPolicyService : DefaultCorsPolicyService
{
public CompanyCorsPolicyService()
{
base.AllowAll = true;
}
}
This method is being called on the project's Startup.cs.
As far as I know, every single end of my environmet should be enabling full CORS access, no matter the origin. But the header is still missing.
I've tried quite a few solutions on the internet:
Using "config.EnableCors" instead of "app.UseCors"
Overriding GrantResourceOwnerCredentials,
I have also tried setting up manually some CORS related headers on Web.Config, but I was unable to find the specific question here on SO.
I don't think identity server is related to this problem, but since that is the difference between my evironment and the solutions I've found, I decided to put it in here too.
Any ideas?
It's possible that the OPTIONSVerbHandler could be intercepting all OPTIONS (CORS pre-flight) requests.
Try disabling that so that ASP.Net can handle those requests instead.

Unable to use swagger 3.0.1 in Azure logic apps

When I try to add a swagger endpoint from my logic app it fails even though it successfully fetches the content.
Failed to fetch swagger with error message: Invalid response: {"openapi":"3.0.1","info":{"title":"My Swagger API"
...
...
...} Ensure you have CORS enabled on the endpoint and are calling a valid HTTPS endpoint.
I tried trouble-shooting CORS in every possible way, but in the end what got it working was forcing version 2.0 of swagger:
app.UseSwagger(o => o.SerializeAsV2 = true);
Has anyone gotten swagger 3.x to work with Logic Apps?
Okay, I have replicated the issue on my end and I have observed the same issue with the my open API.
The key word to notice here is "OpenAPI" specification. This is not a swagger specification. I found the official document which clearly says Swagger(not OpenAPI). Please refer Call REST endpoints by using Azure Logic Apps
You can try work around for this by creating custom connector

CORS error in dev environment; works OK locally

I am trying to make an api call from a vue application to a .net core web api. Locally this works, when we then run it on our first dev environment we get this when it trys to make the request
Access to XMLHttpRequest at
'https://bla-api/api/foc?page=1&pageSize=10&sortBy=&sortDirection=ASC'
from origin 'https://bla-api' 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.
I have added the following to the C#' Startup file in the ConfigureServices method. To just get it working I wanted to provide the *(wildcard), so let anyone call this. So presume that the named policy AllowAnyOrigin would do this!?
readonly string _SpecificOrigins = "AllowSpecificOrigins";
services.AddCors(options =>
{
options.AddPolicy(_SpecificOrigins,
builder =>
{
builder.AllowAnyOrigin()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowAnyMethod();
});
})
services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_3_0);
then also added this in the Configure method
app.UseCors(_SpecificOrigins);
app.UseMvc();
What am I missing? I also try and make a fiddler request to the api and it breaks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
This was a red herring, the web api was not even deployed correctly, it was being deployued as a kestrel exe but was deployed as an azure web app. Adding a web.config pointing to the main api project resolved the issue. I did not write the deployment so that no needs looking at next. Presume the above question is fine then, cheers for the help

TryGetFormCredentials returns null on cross-domain request

I've set up OAuth authentication in a project that uses WebAPI, and I had it working 100% fine.
Then I moved the front end app into a separate project in the solution. So now when I run the app, it's obviously on a different url (localhost:64049) to the API & Authentication Server (which are in the same project, server from localhost:63265).
To get CORS working, I believe I need to add this line to GrantResourceOwnerCredentials
context.OwinContext.Response.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", new[] { allowedOrigin });
However, when I run it, the TryGetFormCredentials in ValidateClientAuthentication is not returning the clientId.
If I send the request from Fiddler/Postman, it still works.
What am I missing?
Managed to fix it by enabling CORS on the app in Startup.cs:
app.UseCors(Microsoft.Owin.Cors.CorsOptions.AllowAll);
I had to remove the other Response Headers, though.
