Fix TLS MITM attack vulnerability

The datapower gateway (that acts as a client in a TLS handshake) does not check if the domain name of the endpoint URL can be matched against the CN or the SAN in the certificate (despite the TLS profile we configure explicitly states to do that). So this connection does not comply to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818#section-3.1.

So the gateway doesn't know for sure it is talking to the correct endpoint server. It can also be a Man In The Middle with a valid, signed certificate but with another name.

As a solution IBM suggests to store the server certificate in the Truststore but that is only a workaround for servers from which you can receive renewed certificates BEFORE they are renewed at that server. That is not always the case. In addition this workaround introduces extra manual actions with extra risks for availability of the system.
