REST source authentication

[denelon]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Several different forms of authentication have been proposed for accessing private sources. This issue is a "top level" issue to clarify which forms of authorization are being considered.

• Authn/Authz #37
• Microsoft Store source MSA authentication #52
• Certificate based authentication #119
• Entra ID authentication #226

We will also need to expose the supported authentication mechanisms via the GetInformation endpoint.

Do you have any estimate when REST source authentication will be implemented?

Not yet, we're still discussing various authentication mechanisms and how we want to approach this feature. Be sure to add your 👍 to issues you are interested in as that helps us to prioritize work. I think we're going to try to get at least one mechanism in place for the 1.3 milestone (end of March).
