You're getting a 403 Forbidden error when calling the decision server to validate a new rule, but this only happens in your DEV and TEST environments, not locally. This suggests there's a difference in the security settings between these environments.
Steps to Troubleshoot and Fix the Issue
Find Your Security Configuration
First, you need to locate the file that defines your security settings. This file is usually named something like WebSecurityConfig.java and is annotated with @EnableWebSecurity. Here's a typical example of what it might look like:
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
// your security configurations
}
@Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
// your authentication configurations
}
}
Check Endpoint Security Rules
Make sure your new validation rule endpoint is correctly configured to allow access. For example, if your endpoint is /validateRule, it should be included in the security rules:
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/validateRule").hasRole("YOUR_ROLE")
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin().permitAll()
.and()
.logout().permitAll();
}
Review CORS Configuration
If your endpoint is accessed from a different domain, make sure CORS is correctly configured:
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.cors().and().csrf().disable()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/validateRule").permitAll()
.anyRequest().authenticated();
}
@Bean
public CorsConfigurationSource corsConfigurationSource() {
CorsConfiguration configuration = new CorsConfiguration();
configuration.setAllowedOrigins(Arrays.asList("http://localhost:8080", "http://your-dev-domain.com"));
configuration.setAllowedMethods(Arrays.asList("GET","POST"));
UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource source = new UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource();
source.registerCorsConfiguration("/**", configuration);
return source;
}
carefully checking and comparing the security settings across your environments, you should be able to find out what's causing the 403 Forbidden error. Adjust the security settings for your new validation rule endpoint to match your application's needs.

Subject: ODM Rule Execution Server 403 forbidden error
From spring-boot-rest-api if I make a call to the decision server to validate a rule, I get 403 forbidden error. I don't know what to enable or add to the new validate rule.
The validation works for similar rule in the same application. I added new validation rule, something not added or mapped, gives the error. I don't get the error if I use the local server endpoint-api. This error occurs in deployed environments. (DEV, TEST). Obviously there is a security-configuration exists, don't know how to see or what is the name of the file or where it is.
any comments would be helpful.
thank you
