How to call from one authorized service to another service that requires authorization - servicestack

Question

I have an Item Service:
[Authenticate]
public class ItemService : ServiceStack.Service {
//implementation
}
Within the ItemService I am debugging this Get method that has received a valid Token and is able to successfully create session:
public GetItemResponse Get(GetItem request)
{
var session = SessionAs<CustomUserSession>();
var authToks1 = session.GetAuthTokens();//empty
var authToks2 = session.GetAuthTokens(_authServiceConnection);//null
var authService = new JsonServiceClient(_authServiceConnection);
//not authorized
ConvertSessionToTokenResponse attempt1 = authService.Send(new ConvertSessionToToken());
//not authorized
ConvertSessionToTokenResponse attempt2 = authService.Send(new ConvertSessionToToken() { PreserveSession = true });
var accountService = new JsonServiceClient(_accountServiceConnection)
{
BearerToken = "what to do",
RefreshToken = "what to do"
};
return new GetItemResponse();
}
Obviously I am simply trying to call another service, AccountService:
[Authenticate]
public class AccountService : ServiceStack.Service {
//implementation
}
How to include a JWT Refresh token or JWT Bearer token in a request from one authorized service to another service that has the ServiceStack Authenticate attribute.
Note I am using a custom Auth provider, I have a legacy database.

If this another ServiceStack Service with the same Host you should use the Service Gateway as internal requests are executed in process directly which avoid the request filter validation.
var response = Gateway.Send(new MyRequest());
If you're trying to call a remote ServiceStack Service you can get the JWT Token sent with the request with IRequest.GetJwtToken() extension method and forward it to the downstream Service requests:
var accountService = new JsonServiceClient(_accountServiceConnection)
{
BearerToken = Request.GetJwtToken(),
};
