spring boot - H2-Console is not showing in browser

Question

I am working on SpringBoot api and using H2 database with following property settings.

spring.h2.console.enabled=true
spring.datasource.name=test
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.h2.Driver
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect
spring.datasource.initialization-mode = embedded
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:test
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update

When I want to use browser to view the H2 database console through 'http://localhost:8082/h2-console', a screen open in browser with connect and test connection button. When I click on Test Connection, it returns successful but when click on Connect button, error comes that localhost refused to connect.

Answer 1

As per this blog post, a line needs to be added to the configure method of the SecurityConfig class if you have the spring-boot-starter-security dependency in your project, otherwise you will see an empty page after logging into the H2 console:

http.headers().frameOptions().disable();

I added that line and it solved the problem.

Alternatively, the following line can be used (as mentioned here):

http.headers().frameOptions().sameOrigin();
