01/31/2023, 5:47 PMHi ! I'm trying to get something like the enclosed diagram to work, I can't find a way to get the user id from the cookies set by supertokens, maybe this setup doesn't make sense ?
I was thinking I'd be able to get an user id from the sAccessToken cookie, but I don't manage to verify its signature using the keys provided by the jwt recipe's get_jwks function ?

01/31/2023, 5:56 PMthe sAccessToken is not a JWT. To get the JWT, you should extract the jwt from the session on the frontend and send it to the backend for verification.

01/31/2023, 5:58 PMAlright, I was hoping to get rid of Authorization headers ! Thanks for the quick answer, have a nice day

01/31/2023, 6:03 PMWe are working on a change in which the sAccessToken is the JWT itself - in which case, the method you originally planned would just work (~1 month away)
