Angular 2 code is as following -
public login = (resrc: string, item: any): Observable<any> => {
this.headers.append('Authorization', 'Basic ' + btoa(item['userName']+':'+item['password']));
let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: this.headers, withCredentials: true });
return this._http.post(this.serverUrl+"login/"+this.apiUrl+resrc,{}, options)
.timeoutWith(5000, Observable.throw(new Error('Request timed out.')))
.map((response: Response) => { return response; })
.catch(this.handleError);
}

I am getting 401 (Unauthorised error) with following details -
zone.js:1981 OPTIONS https://domain/login/api/system/sessions/ 401 (Unauthorized)
:3010/#/login:1 Failed to load https://domain/login/api/system/sessions/: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'. Origin 'http://localhost:3010' is therefore not allowed access. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.
Can anyone please help me out with this.
