Coder plugin: Auth header bearer token isn't being forwarded to Backstage backend APIs #116
Description
This issue comes from a user at a prospective company.
Issue
- When the Coder plugin tries to make API requests, the special Backstage bearer token (provided through
IdentityApi) isn't included in the requests - Brandon confirmed that several other plugins that he's using (mostly third-party plugins and custom Deloitte plugins) do not have this issue
Likely cause
- This seems to be an issue on our end with how we're using
IdentityApi– the API isn't hooked up to the plugin 100% correctly, and the token is getting lost in the process
Other notes
- Luckily, Backstage has a guide with examples in their GitHub (might want to open an issue about getting this added to their documentation website, too)
