Description
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
### Summary
Identity Aware Proxies (IAP) are used to implement the Zero Trust security model which uses the user identity instead of network-based as done by traditional VPNs.
These set specific headers, like X-USER-NAME, which is parsed by the backend to authenticate/create the user. For e.g. Gafana supports this: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/auth/auth-proxy/
### Why should this be worked on?
This feature would allow deploying appsmith in organizations that have implemented IAP solutions, where authentication happens in a single place.
