[denelon]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I would like to be able to authenticate access to REST sources.

As an enterprise standing up a private REST source I want to be able to authenticate users.

There are several authentication mechanisms being considered:

• Certificate based authentication for REST sources. #1919
• Add authentication support to REST source for purchased Microsoft Store Apps #1339
• Entra ID Authentication for WinGet REST sources #4124
• AuthN / AuthZ

Note: We are working on anonymous access to the Microsoft Store source.

• Allow winget to install MS Store packages without account just like the MS Store #1585

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but seeing that this Issue is the one I'm being referred to I wanted to ask if I could start working on this and create a pr once I have something?
