Configuration patching not working in Identity Server

Question

I am working on a Sitecore Managed Cloud project and for that, I want to patch AllowedCorsOrigins node to add AllowedCorsOriginsGroup2 for adding custom domain of CM site in Identity Server.

Since this is a Sitecore Host application so patching should work as explained here.

When I update file (root)\Config\production\Sitecore.IdentityServer.Host.xml directly then everything is working fine as explained here but patching is not.

To patch that file I tried following -

I created a patch file as shown below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Settings>
  <Sitecore>
    <IdentityServer>      
      <Clients>
        <DefaultClient>
          <AllowedCorsOrigins>
            <AllowedCorsOriginsGroup2>https://cm.mysite.com</AllowedCorsOriginsGroup2>
          </AllowedCorsOrigins>
        </DefaultClient>
      </Clients>
    </IdentityServer>
  </Sitecore>
</Settings>

and kept it in this location - sitecoreruntime > production > Sitecore.IdentityServer.Host.xml

but it's not working. I also tried keeping patch file to sitecoreruntime > config > production > Sitecore.IdentityServer.Host.xml

Tried renaming patch file too to z.Sitecore.IdentityServer.Host.xml but no luck.

After every change, I restarted app service.

Sitecore version - 9.1.1

What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to view the final/merged configuration of Sitecore Host application something similar to showconfig.aspx?

Answer 1

Your patch file is at incorrect location, folder structure should be like -

in your case error is here -

put config folder inside your environment folder, such as sitecoreruntime > production > config > Sitecore.IdentityServer.Host.xml
