[FEAT]: Header authentication to support various forms of auth and SSO

What would you like to see?

Header auth using sso/saml is one of my favorite and easiest ways to implement SSO to a page.

Authelia is one popular tool, as well as apache Mellon. These tools basically set a header variable for a username after it has successfully authenticated the user.

Netbox Has an excellent implementation of this

For authentication on the app side, if header auth is enabled, the built in login mechanism is disabled. The app generally reads the REMOTE_User header value. If it's set, register the user and authenticate them automatically.

Typically for sso/saml you can control who has access on the idp side. SSO services can even pass through groups or AD groups which gives some neat possibilities in an enterprise setting.

Awesome tool! I know your busy with it, but just wanted to toss this one out there.
