We can now receive events on the TCP input with a TLS connection, the
input uses existing type to make sure we have the same naming convention
and code used by outputs that support TLS communication (Elasticsearch
and Logstash).

The configuration will look like this:

  host: "localhost:9000"
  ssl.enabled: true
  ssl.verification_mode: full # default
  ssl.supported_protocols: [TLSv1.1]
  ssl.cipher_suites: []
  ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/cacert"]
  ssl.certificate: /etc/mycert.crt
  ssl.key: /etc/mycert.key
  ssl.client_authentication: required

One added configuration is client_authentication, this option is
only used in the context of server and define how we will force the
authentification, it support the three following options:

  • required: Assume that the client will provide a certificate and we
    will verify it. (default)
  • optional: If a certificate is given by the client.
  • none: We don't validate client certificate.

*Note: This commit contains a script to generate certs from a self
signed CA.

Fixes: #6873

Depends on #7054

This is a valid error, current guest is don't write enough stuff to the socket to trigger the error and the message are in the buffer.

Could you rename it to client_authentication, so non-native English speakers like me don't need to check the dictionary? :D Also, according to English on StackExchange it's less idiomatic. :D https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/7844/is-authentification-a-real-word

Why did you increase this number? How much time does it add to test execution time?

Oh, it's outdated. Nevermind.

It's a nice refactor. However, the name of the new option should be changed.

Could you rebase this branch, so moving stuff to tlscommon disappear? Is it ready to be reviewed/merged?
