I try to solve the error 403 Forbidden that I get when sending requests to my GeoServer. To debug the process, I use Network tab from Inspect option in Chrome (I also tried Firefox). This is the error that I see in the Network tab.
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:8080/geoserver/square/ows?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&requ…ture&typeName=square:InformationStores&outputFormat=application%2Fjson. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:5601' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 403.
My GeoServer 2.10.4 is CORS enabled according to multiple tutorials that I found on this topic. However, the error message that I receive seems to be related to proxy.
I spent so much time trying to solve this issue, so finally, I am absolutely lost. I tried a lot of things, but nothing has worked.
This is the configuration file of GeoServer to which I send request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"> <web-app>

<!-- Meaning of the different values :
PARTIAL-BUFFER2
- Partially buffers the first xKb to disk. Once that has buffered, the the
result is streamed to the user. This will allow for most errors to be caught
early.
BUFFER
- stores the entire response in memory first, before sending it off to
the user (may run out of memory)
SPEED
- outputs directly to the response (and cannot recover in the case of an
error)
FILE
- outputs to the local filesystem first, before sending it off to the user
