Accessing Forge Storage from a Connect backend

[SeanBourke]

Hey @Berkayztrk,

@Berkayztrk

I want to calculate some data on the backend for the authenticated user and store that data in Forge Storage.

Does this occur once a user completes an action within your app (i.e. they press a button in Jira), or is this an offline activity?

I am trying to figure out how to access Forge’s asApp and asUser JWTs in order to send GraphQL requests to Forge Storage. From the code, it appears that ACSB authenticates Forge requests and puts a ForgeApiContext object, wrapped by a ForgeAuthentication object, into the SecurityContext.

You’ll have to ensure that you invoke a Forge Remote request to attain access to that token. At the moment, it will only exist within the context of the request, however there is a subsequent milestone which explores always available offline access to Forge remote - this would however only be asApp for now.
