See https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/built-in-authentication-in-alb/

Now, when I navigate to an authenticated page my Fargate containers receive the originating request with the X-Amzn-Oidc-* headers set by ALB. Using the information in those headers (claims-data, identity, access-token) my application can implement authorization.

I've been looking into this and am considering making a PR to get this working. Is there still interest here?
