Chapter 16. Allowing JavaScript-based access to the API server from additional hosts
16.1. Allowing JavaScript-based access to the API server from additional hosts
The default OpenShift Container Platform configuration only allows the OpenShift web console to send requests to the API server.
If you need to access the API server or OAuth server from a JavaScript application using a different host name, you can configure additional host names to allow.
Prerequisites
-
Access to the cluster as a user with the
cluster-admin
role.
Procedure
Edit the API servers resource:
$ oc edit apiserver.config.openshift.io cluster
Add the
additionalCORSAllowedOrigins
field under thespec
section and specify one or more additional host names: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) 1
- 1
- The host name is specified as a Golang regular expression that matches against CORS headers from HTTP requests against the API server and OAuth server.
NoteThis example uses the following syntax:
-
The
(?i)
makes it case-insensitive. -
The
//
pins to the beginning of the domain and matches the double slash followinghttp:
orhttps:
. -
The
\.
escapes dots in the domain name. -
The
(:|\z)
matches the end of the domain name(\z)
or a port separator(:)
