Enable CORS for JIRA REST API calls via JAVASCRIPT

[Archana Sawant]

Getting below error, while trying to give rest api call from our javascript code. 

Failed to load http://<<hostname>>/rest/api/2/issue/: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://<<myapplicationurl>>' is therefore not allowed access.

For more details we are trying to create JIRA bugs using rest api from our application.

JIRA Software version is. 7.10

We tried out the whitelist configuration, however it is not helpful. 

Didn't find clear solution from posts around this issue.
