There are currently issues with the latest Janus image. If you are using quay.io/janus-idp/backstage-showcase:latest image, you might face this issue.
It should get fixed once this PR is merged janus-idp/backstage-showcase#590

The quick and dirty fix is to use nightly builds. You can do something like this helm upgrade -i janus janus-idp/backstage --set upstream.backstage.image.tag=nightly-20231010

Janus enables Service to Service Auth by default. For this to function, secret needs to be configured, or it will be automatically generated which should be only used for development.
YOu should add secret to values.yaml or provide it using helm cli --set "upstream.backstage.appConfig.backend.auth.keys[0].secret=secret-value

Hi @dbacademy, this should be resolved now. We've updated the default image.
