Description

Currently cqlsh allows users to connect via SSL to their cassandra cluster via command line.

Nodetool only offers username/password authentication [1], and if users want to use SSL, they need to use jconsole [2]. We should support nodetool connecting via SSL in the same way cqlsh does.
