GraphQL CORs preflight endpoint configuration

November 29, 2021 George (@gwdt)1 Comment

During testing for an upgrade to 10.2 of a JSS implementation recently we identified that some of our connected GQL calls were failing when running locally in the client due to CORs issues.

Access to fetch at 'https://mysitecoreinstance.com/api/my-web-gql-endpoint' from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'.

Missing SXA Site Manager in Sitecore 10.2

Note to future self. RTFM and use the packages you are told to install. Recently in my haste to upgrade some SIF scripts and an older implementation to 10.2 (JSS & SXA), I downloaded all the relevant resource packages from the Sitecore download pages & SPE from Github and got to installing. All looked to be well, but noticed that some of the SXA features appeared to be missing, such as the SXA Site manager.

Identity server error after fresh install of 10.2

Sitecore 10.2 ships by default with Sitecore Identity Server 6 which has a dependency on NET Core 3.1 and related assemblies. As with previous versions it can easily be supported (in parallel with previous versions) by installing the NET Core 3.1 Hosting bundle.
