Encrypted JDBC support

Currently it is only possible to protect the db2 credentials in the ilmt was -> ilmt db2 connection by using AUTHENTICATION SERVER_ENCRYPT, however this is not support for ilmt was -> bigfix/webreports db2 connections.

Please consider adding SERVER_ENCRYPT support throughtout the solution to protect db2 credentials.

We would also like to request for the solution to support encrypted JDBC to avoid leaking information about the environment.

Credentials & information about the environment such as ip adresses etc. are classified information, this prevents us from using this product.

    ILMT server and overall documentation has been updated to allow for encryption connection between LMT Server and database. Also details on possible encryption of BigFix connection to it's database are described. ILMT currently does not connect directly to webreports database.

    All the details regarding encryption of data in transfer can be found under this link: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=security-enabling-encrypted-connection-database
