I am using OKTA for user management and I am having an issue getting user information back. I have followed the documentation, I have CORS set correctly, enabled app permissions, etc.

If I test using postman I get the data back without a problem. It's only when react makes the api call that a 401 is returned. I have also narrowed down the headers causing the problem origin and referrer.

I am using okta/react I have searched for days and can't figure out what I'm missing. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

ReactJS Code

useEffect(() => {
    if (!authState.isAuthenticated) {
      // When user isn't authenticated, forget any user info
      setUserInfo(null);
    } else {
      oktaAuth
        .getUser()
        .then((info) => {
          setUserInfo(info);
        })
        .catch((error) => {
          // ToDo: log error
          console.error(error);
        });
    }
  }, [authState, oktaAuth]);
