db.use_ssl should be set to true

Would be good to have db.use_ssl=true in our portal.properties. See https://github.com/thehyve/cbioportal-docker/blob/master/portal.properties#L14

Or at least comment why it is hard to get it working with ssl (which I don't expect). Looks like an extra property would be needed: https://github.com/cBioPortal/cbioportal/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/mskcc/cbio/portal/util/DatabaseProperties.java#L61

Wouldn't the database need a valid SSL certificate for its hostname to do that? It seems to me that that only really becomes an issue if it's listening on an external (public) host, rather than on a container hostname that's only accessible from within the Docker-managed virtual network.

Maybe this issue is a better place to start: cBioPortal/cbioportal#6180
