NPM and JSVM, custom basic-auth plugin more details?

When you search for 5976507eb46f2e00016bb4a13a4e7ca913238ee243102a32d27e56bc What do you see in the gateway logs?

The reason I ask is, if the Auth token middleware can validate this key, (it uses the same method to look up the token), then the dashboard should be able to use it too. Since the dashboard uses the gateway to lookup the token data, and the API lookup uses the same method.

IS the dashboard connected to the same gateway and redis DB that you have the middleware running on?
