Support Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a very common security way when transport data through Internet. In some use cases, end users report the background:

Target(under monitoring) applications are in a region, which also named VPC, at the same time, the SkyWalking backend is in another region (VPC).

Because of that, security requirement is very obvious.

• Use this script if you are not familiar with how to generate key files.
• Find ca.crt, and use it at client side
• Find server.crt and server.pem. Use them at server side.
