feature request: support self-signed SSL certificates on agents

[ebr]

Tried joining a host to a server with SSL enabled and using a self-signed cert. In the agent's logs: level="fatal" msg="Failed to connect to proxy." error="x509: certificate signed by unknown authority". It would be great to be able to use a self-signed certificate in situations where only encryption is of interest and not authentication.

+1 : would be great to allow agent to connect to server served via https+self signed certificates

+1 this is really needed
I find a way to access Rancher in https which allow me to access websockets behind my enterprise proxy, but let agent discuss in http, so the workarround is ok for me for now.

We managed to solve this with custom builds of rancher/server, rancher/agent and rancher/agent-instance. I detailed our approach at #2237 (comment)

@smaccona Thank you. That's pretty close to what I did, although I gave up when I reached the point that I had to patch the python tar ball in rancher/server.. But seeing that you actually managed to get it to work is cool :)

+1 really need this. Something like what Flocker does would be nice: https://docs.clusterhq.com/en/latest/docker-integration/configuring-authentication.html
