Allowing JavaScript-based access to the api server from additional hosts

By default, the cluster restricts api server requests to the web console for security. Because the default configuration only permits the web console, you must update the api Server configuration of the cluster to approve additional hostnames for api and OAuth access.

Allowing JavaScript-based access to the api server from additional hosts

If you need to access the api server or OAuth server from a JavaScript application by using a different hostname, you can configure additional hostnames to allow.

Prerequisites

  • Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.

Procedure

  1. Edit the apiServer resource:

    $ oc edit apiserver.config.openshift.io cluster

  2. Add the additionalCORSAllowedOrigins field under the spec section and specify one or more additional hostnames:

    apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: apiServer
metadata:
  annotations:
    release.openshift.io/create-only: "true"
  creationTimestamp: "2019-07-11T17:35:37Z"
  generation: 1
  name: cluster
  resourceVersion: "907"
  selfLink: /apis/config.openshift.io/v1/apiservers/cluster
  uid: 4b45a8dd-a402-11e9-91ec-0219944e0696
spec:
  additionalCORSAllowedOrigins:
  - (?i)//my\.subdomain\.domain\.com(:|\z)

    where:

    additionalCORSAllowedOrigins

    The hostname is specified as a Golang regular expression that matches against CORS headers from HTTP requests against the api server and OAuth server.

    This example uses the following syntax:

    • The (?i) makes it case-insensitive.

    • The // pins to the beginning of the domain and matches the double slash following http: or https:.

    • The \. escapes dots in the domain name.

    • The (:|\z) matches the end of the domain name (\z) or a port separator (:).

  3. Save the file to apply the changes.
