Support TLS for connections to configuration server (HOMSRV)

Due to DoD/DISA STIG requirements for all connections to be secured via TLS we need the ability to enable TLS for the configuration server (HOMSRV) port 8999. This would allow the credentials used to retrieve or modify the configurations to be kept secure. No user ID or password should ever be transferred without a FIPS certified encryption of the session.  The use of the configuration servlet does not satisfy the requirement due to the the connection between the servlet and the HOMSRV task still being unencrypted.
