I am developing an add-in for Geotab Drive. I want my add-in to call my own API (hosted on prem) which uses a bearer token for authentication. As we know, the add-in is front end only so I cannot store my secrets there. Where should I store the secrets securely to be able to obtain the token to then call my API from the add-in? My other apps store them in key vault, but it's not obvious how to implement that here. Should there be some sort of back-end proxy going on here? All I have now is a React add-in running locally. Please advise.
