Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Besu supports RPC authentication using a Bearer Token, but there is no way to add this header in the SSV config.
Describe the solution you'd like
Adding an optional bearer token header to the eth1 rpc would allow secure authentication to an external besu node.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding http auth using a reverse proxy. Using the bearer token would be native to besu and seems more secure.
