Hi,
from what I understand, you are trying to share the session token generated
by your identity API so that it can be used to authenticate requests to
GeoServer.
If this is the case, the authkey community module can be used for that
purpose, but you need a service that translates the token to a real
username. You say that you are using a get token service to authenticate
the user and get a session token. Does your identity API have a service to
get user info given a particular token?

Regards,
Mauro Bartolomeoli
