Problem Statement

The existing backstage instance do not allow to be accessed from an external system (Example: curl => backstage to post or get data) as the following key is not implemented within the ConfigMap => app-config

  auth:
    # Used for enabling authentication, secret is shared by all backend plugins
    # See https://backstage.io/docs/auth/service-to-service-auth for
    # information on the format
    externalAccess:
      - type: static
        options:
          token: ${BACKSTAGE_AUTH_TOKEN}
          subject: curl-requests

Possible Solution

Patch the ConfigMap - data - app-config to add such a key
