## TL;DR If your frontend behind Cloudflare Access fails CORS preflight with 403, go to Zero Trust, Access controls, Applications, open the app, then Advanced settings and CORS settings, and enable Bypass options requests to origin. ## Steps 1. If your frontend behind Cloudflare Access fails CORS preflight with 403, go to Zero Trust, Access controls, Applications, open the app, then Advanced settings and CORS settings, and enable Bypass options requests to origin. Make sure your origin enforces the Access JWT on the real requests, since Access no longer guards OPTIONS. Alternatives are having Cloudflare respond to the preflight, or a Worker that injects the auth token when both sides are behind Access. ## When to use You are seeing this: Make sure your origin enforces the Access JWT on the real requests, since Access no longer guards OPTIONS. Use this skill when you run into "Access CORS preflight fails with 403 even when you are logged in". ## When not to use If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix.
