Sitecore 9.1 admin password is no longer 'b'?

Hi,

            I'm going to share my issue experience in getting admin default password in sitecore 9.1 installation.

Today i installed sitecore xp 9.1 and noted one important thing,that is default admin password is no longer 'b'.

Then i had one question "If no longer 'b' then what the default password is ?"
                           
                 After locating from installation guide,the default admin password is set to "SIF-Default" in XP0-SingleDeveloper file in the SitecoreAdminPassword parameter which means SIF generates a "Random Password" for you at the end of the script execution.

After reading this, you must have another question if i want to change back to 'b' what i need to do ?
                       
              Answer is simple , you can edit the SitecoreAdminPassword  before installation. or  you can simply copy the random password generated by SIF and change to what you want using user manager.

I hope you've enjoyed with this post. Thanks :)

Refused to get "Unsafe Header - Location" while getting response header in item service

Hi,

     
        Today i'm going to share my issue experience while creating item using item service in sitecore.services.client.

REST API is one of the key features in sitecore.

Sitecore provides two ways to use REST API
.
1. Item Service
2. Entitiy Service

If you want more explanation please refer the below url
https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/90/sitecore-experience-management/en/the-restful-api-for-the-itemservice.html

Issue: 
         
I'm trying to create an item using ItemService in Sitecore.Services.Client.

Item creation is working fine and response looks like this:

201 (Created).

Location: /item/0727f965-2338-43cc-bd88-5071ad3f7a12?database=master

My need is to get this location in the response header.

During that I'm facing this issue:

refused to get unsafe header "Location" Error

my code sample:

 request.setRequestHeader('Access-Control-Expose-Headers', 'Location');
            request.onreadystatechange = function () {
                if (this.readyState == 4) {
                    console.log(this.status); 
                    console.log(this.getResponseHeader('Location'));                                       
                }
            };

Solution:

I found the solution by adding the below line in web.config.

<httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <add name="Access-Control-Expose-Headers" value="*"/>
        <remove name="X-Powered-By" />
      </customHeaders>
 </httpProtocol>
