I have a react app and a server (nodejs), both are deployed on AWS and CORS policy is set on the server.

Now that I have set up protection on my server routes, I can’t seem to access these routes from my react app.

I get 401 Unauthorized error.

And when I set the withCredentials: true property, I get another error ERR_NETWORK with no explanation.

However, the protected routes can be accessed from postman when signing and sending the session cookie.

I have tried looking for solutions, and all point to the withCredentials property, which I also tried and did not help.
