Headless Optimizely Forms, posting a form

I'm struggling with posting a form to the forms api.
 
I'm using these packages:
EPiServer.CMS 12.34
EPiServer.ContentDeliveryApi.Cms 3.12.0
Optimizely.Cms.Forms.Service 1.2.0
Optimizely.Cms.Forms.ContentGraph 1.2.0
 
I tried to look at these links:
 
In my React site, fetching and rendering the form with https://github.com/episerver/content-headless-form-js-sdk works fine.
However, when posting, it returns a 401.
My forms at the site should be allowed to be posted without logging in.
 
For users accessing the CMS, OpenIdConnect has been added, which works, allowing users to log in, etc.
 
I tried adding AddOpenIDConnectUI, as mentioned in the link above, but had no luck.
Any suggestions or examples to get it working would be much appreciated.

The client authentication have nothing to do with the user being anonymous or not. You will still need to send a bearer token to the Forms API to verify that your client have the permission to post stuff.

Ideally you'll post to your own API and not directly to the forms api. Your own API will in its turn be the one holding the JWT Bearer Token sending it to the forms api. This should be done serverside.
