title: How to pass a bearer token correctly in the Azure APIM?
body: <p>I am trying to pass a bearer token from another API that I have subscribed to via my API into my APIM.
  I had the idea of adding inbound processing that adds a set-header that adds &quot;authorization&quot; and &quot;Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&quot;.
  So I was wondering if this is safe enough, as I don't want my bearer token to be public, I'm not sure if this can be traced outside of the APIM itself.</p>
  <p>Could there be a better solution?</p>
  <p>I found this <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/policies/use-oauth2-for-authorization" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/policies/use-oauth2-for-authorization</a> in the Microsoft docs, but I'm not sure if it also works if it's a bearer token not linked to Azure AD. But maybe using &quot;send-request&quot; puts me on the right track?</p>
  <p>Kind regards</p>
