I was trying to build application outside the Splunk web interface using Splunk REST APIs and Angular 6 I Got**CORS rejection error

REST API ( I used 😞 https://localhost:8089/services/auth/login

result:

*angular Code : *

  login(data) {
    const body = new URLSearchParams();
    body.set('username', data.username);
    body.set('password', data.password);
    body.set('output_mode', 'json');
    const options = {
      headers: new HttpHeaders().set('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
  };
  console.log(body.toString());

      this.http.post('https://localhost:8089/services/auth/login', body.toString(), options).subscribe(
        (resData) => {
          console.log(resData);
        },
        (err) => {
          console.log(err);
        }
      );
    console.log(data);
    }

but it is working fine with Post man

Then I tried Changing server.conf

If you have admin access to the Splunk server that will receive the requests there is a setting for this in server.conf.

[httpServer]
crossOriginSharingPolicy =

If the intent here is to build an application that will connect to any Splunk instance with a username and password then it is a matter of following the CORS protocol and using an API container.

Have you tried to connect Splunk using SplunkJavascript SDK?
