Desired Solution you'd like

create a environment variables like "OLLAMA_API_KEY" or "OLLAMA_authentication"

The only authentication related Ollama environment variable I could spot for Open WebUI in its environment variables documentation is RAG_OLLAMA_API_KEY, which may or may not be useful here. Chances are that it's not helpful in this case, but just thought I'd mention it anyways in case it somehow does help!
