   When you're doing server-side prerendering, you can pass arbitrary (JSON-serializable) data from .NET into your boot-server.ts code. To do this, see Passing data from .NET code into JavaScript code on this page of docs: https://github.com/aspnet/JavaScriptServices/blob/dev/src/Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices/README.md

   Using this technique, you can pass whatever authentication credentials or token you have in .NET code to boot-server.ts, and use that whenever you call fetch. For example, you could take an auth token from some incoming HTTP header in .NET code, and send the same HTTP header when you make fetch calls.

   I know this is not trivial to implement. The reason there's no built-in feature for replaying auth tokens like that is that it would be a huge security issue if your app was calling third-party APIs (unless you take steps to control exactly which fetch calls get the auth context, you might be leaking credentials to third parties).
