[Enhancement] Add proxy authentication support to multi-auth framework about security-dashboards-plugin HOT 3 OPEN

Hello @samk-acw, thank you for opening.

@opensearch-project/admin, can you please move this to https://github.com/opensearch-project/security-dashboards-plugin

from security-dashboards-plugin.

[Triage] Hi @samk-acw, thank you for filing this issue. Currently, multiple authentication forms are only supported for external identity provider sign on options (SAML, OIDC, etc.) and basic auth or bearer auth. That being said, support for proxy authentication alongside basic auth would be a change we would be interested in seeing should you be willing to propose a design or open a PR.

I will mark this as an enhancement and change the title so that it is clear what the issue is requesting. Thank you :)

(Sorry the documentation was not clear on this, we will get that addressed in the meantime)
