[aerogear-dev] Dealing with secured endpoints and CORS

Hi Folks, I'm facing an issue and I hope you could help me on this. My app is using ag-sec with the @secure annotation and Resteasy. <https://gist.github.com/sebastienblanc/6133102#scenario-hitting-secured-e...: hitting secured endpoints without CORS (webapp deployed in the same domain) When the user has not the role specified by @secure I got an exception, as expected https://gist.github.com/sebastienblanc/6134149 I assume it is because of this https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-security/blob/master/src/main/java/o... and, perfect, works as designed. The server returns a nice 401 status to the client. <https://gist.github.com/sebastienblanc/6133102#testing-in-a-cors-configur... in a CORS configuration (web client running under another domain) Same scenario I'm hitting a secure endpoint without having the role needed (BTW the OPTIONS preflights are handled without any errors). I'm getting the same exception from the server but this time no proper 401 answer sent back to the client, and on client side the request is just canceled. 1. Reproduce it To repoduce this scenario here are the step : - Clone this branch https://github.com/sebastienblanc/aerogear-push-quickstart-backend/tree/c... ,mvn clean install , mvn jboss-as:deploy - Clone this branch : https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-push-quickstart-web/tree/AGPUSH-160 and deploy it, making sure it's not running on the same port as aerodoc backend (for instancepython -m SimpleHTTPServer ) - Browse to the simple client (in case you use python webserver it will be localhost:8000 - Login With maria/123 - Refresh the page : you should see the failure on retrieving the /leads endpoints. So, What I'm looking for is to have a normal 401 status sent back to the client when using CORS, maybe someone has some ides about this ? Regards, Seb
