**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):  
OpenSearch 2.18.0  
OpenSearch operator 2.6.0

**Describe the issue** :  
I deploy OpenSearch cluster by means of operator and I want to install some additional plugins as described [here](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-k8s-operator/blob/main/docs/userguide/main.md#adding-plugins). But plugins are located at private registry. The question is how can I provide authorization stuff to http requests downloading these plugins?

**Configuration** :

```auto
  general:
    pluginsList: ["https://private-registry/plugin-x.y.z.zip"]

```
