For local setup you need to run local universal editor as well. Details are on https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/dev...

HI @vishal-bansal-sbr 

It seems like you’re encountering a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issue where the target origin specified by the remote server doesn’t match the origin from which you’re trying to access it. This is a common security feature that browsers implement to prevent potentially malicious scripts on one page from obtaining access to sensitive data on another.

Check the Configuration: Ensure that your local server is configured to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header correctly. This header should include the origin that you want to allow, which in your case is https://localhost:8443.

Hi @vishal-bansal-sbr ,

Setting up Universal Editor in AEM requires a few steps, and encountering errors during the process is not uncommon. To help you troubleshoot, I'll provide a general outline of the setup process and some common errors you might encounter.

Setup Steps:

1. Ensure AEM Version Compatibility: Universal Editor is available in AEM as a Cloud Service and AEM 6.5. Ensure you're using a compatible version.

2. Enable Universal Editor Feature: Universal Editor needs to be enabled in AEM. This is typically done through AEM's Cloud Manager or by configuring feature flags in your AEM instance.

3. Configuration in AEM: Configure AEM to support Universal Editor by setting up appropriate content policies, component policies, and configuring the in-place editing configuration.

4. Local Development Environment: Ensure your local development environment is properly set up, including running AEM locally, setting up your project structure, and configuring your IDE.

5. Authentication Configuration: Ensure that your AEM instance is properly configured for authentication. Universal Editor may require specific authentication configurations to work properly.

6. Proxy Configuration (if necessary): If you're accessing your AEM instance through a proxy server, ensure that the proxy configuration is correctly set up to allow Universal Editor to communicate with AEM.

Common Errors:

1. Authentication Errors: If Universal Editor is unable to authenticate with AEM, you might encounter errors related to authentication or authorization. Double-check your authentication configuration to ensure it's set up correctly.

2. Component Configuration Errors: Errors in configuring components or content policies can lead to issues with Universal Editor. Review your component configurations and content policies to ensure they're set up correctly.

3. Network Configuration Errors: If Universal Editor is unable to connect to your AEM instance, you might encounter network-related errors. Check your network configuration, including proxy settings if applicable.

4. Console Errors: Look for errors in your browser's developer console when attempting to use Universal Editor. These errors can provide valuable information about what's going wrong.

5. AEM Logs: Check the logs in your AEM instance for any errors or warnings related to Universal Editor. These logs can provide insights into what might be causing the issue.

AEM Connection Details:

To set up Universal Editor, you'll need the connection details for your AEM instance, including:

• URL: The URL of your AEM instance (e.g., http://localhost:4502)
• Credentials: Username and password to authenticate with AEM
• Port: The port on which your AEM instance is running (default is usually 4502)

By following these steps and troubleshooting any errors you encounter, you should be able to set up Universal Editor on your localhost. If you encounter specific errors or need further assistance, feel free to provide more details, and I can offer more targeted guidance.
