Configuring CORS for JSON Ledger API access is mandatory

To allow the CPM user interface to communicate with your Canton validator node, you must configure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) on your JSON Ledger API.

Ensure that your JSON Ledger API is configured to allow requests from the CPM UI origin, including the required HTTP methods and headers.

CPM UI Origin to be used:

  1. MainNet - cpm.prod.catalyst.intellecteu.io

  2. TestNet - cpm.staging.catalyst.intellecteu.io

  3. DevNet - cpm.testing.catalyst.intellecteu.io

At a minimum, your CORS configuration must:

  • Allow the CPM UI origin

  • Permit GET and POST HTTP methods

  • Allow required headers such as Content-Type and Authorization

Once CORS is correctly configured, continue with the node setup and proceed to the next step.

Section 2: Download Required Files

In this section, you will see the download link(s) for the required DAR files as well as installation instructions to follow on your validator node:

  1. Download the CPM DAR file(s)

  2. Connect to your Canton console

  3. Upload the DAR file(s):

    • participant1.dars.upload.("path/to/cpm.dar")

  4. Verify installation and return to continue setup

    • Follow the instructions carefully to ensure your node is set up correctly.

    • Once complete, click Next Step to proceed to step 5.
