The following topics provide information about the CORS category and the properties categorized under CORS in the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json file:
The CORS properties in the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json file correlate to the CORS properties in the WebCenter Sites wcs_properties.json file.
The properties that configure the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) mechanism for Satellite Server are categorized under the CORS category. These properties allow resources to be requested from domains outside of the WebCenter Sites domain.
When a request from a domain outside of WebCenter Sites is made for a WebCenter Sites resource, the browser "preflights" the request by soliciting supported domain methods from WebCenter Sites with an HTTP OPTIONS request header. Upon approval from WebCenter Sites, CORS sends the request with the HTTP request method. WebCenter Sites can also notify clients whether "credentials" (including Cookies and HTTP Authentication data) should be sent with requests.
The following table provides a description for each CORS-related property in the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json file.
