Configure CORS policy for Spring Cloud Gateway

I have Spring Cloud gateway running on separate server with the following configuration:

spring:
  cloud:
    gateway:
      globalcors:
        cors-configurations:
          '[/*]':   (I also tried '[/**]':)
            allowedOrigins: "http://localhost:3000"
            allowedMethods:
              - GET
              - POST

But every time from React app I get:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://11.1.1.1:8080/api/support/tickets/create' from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Do you know how this issue an be solved for Spring Boot 2.6.2/Spring cloud 2021.0.0?

Are you running your FE app via --proxy-conf to redirect? I am not a well versed in FE, but dont use changeOrigin: true. If you have to to use changeOrigin: true, it will only work for GET and for others you might have to do something like this. To use proxy-conf, we usually have a proxy.conf.json with something like this:

{
  "/api/*": {
    "target": "http://external-gateway-url",
    "secure": false,
    "logLevel": "debug"
  }
}

and then while running the app use --proxy-config proxy.conf.json. My FE knowledge is out-of-date. You may want to look something like this.

If not, and the call is direct, just the following configuration (also needed for proxy too) in gateway should work:

spring:
  cloud:
    gateway:
      globalcors:
        corsConfigurations:
          '[/**]':
            allowedOrigins: "http://localhost:3000"
            allowedHeaders: "*"
            allowedMethods:
            - GET
            - POST
