    Hi, 

    i'm facing recurrent issue when Testing an API published in Developer portal using the Api explorer. 

    i following these steps for publishing the API:

    1. i have a backend API available on a LAC SERVER (backend API url : https://lac.ness.com:8083/rest/default/banking/v1 )

    2. i took the swagger file of this api and modified in it the point to my gateway tenant which is enrolled with the portal (this is the gw url :  https://gw3.local.poc:8443/banking_api/3

     

    3. i successfully published the API with the modified swagger file using API key for authentication and also in the api explorer

     

    now, i can test the API using a client app (like postman) via the gw url  and get response from the backend . however, when i test it using the API explorer of the portal i get the following error (see screenshot as well) : 

    Error: Unable to make request. This may be due to a network error or a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing request pre-flight failure.

     

     

     

     

     

    any ideas how can i resolve it ?

    Hi,

     

    Can you send a screenshot of your browser console after clicking on the submit button ?

     

    Regards,

    I think it's a certificate trust issue between your GW and your Browser.

    Copy the Request URL in another tab of your Browser, then you will get a warning

    because your Browser doesn't trust the certificate so you just have to proceed (Click on Advanced and so one).

    Then go back to the API Explorer and try again.
