> Following up on LOG4J2-1896, currently SecureSocketAppender can only be configured by specifying the passwords to the trust store and the key store in plain text in the log4j 2 configuration file.
> Provide alternative configurations that obtain the password from different sources, for example:
> * system environment variable
> * file
> Example configuration:
> {noformat}
>   <Appenders>
>     <Socket name="socket" host="localhost" port="${sys:SecureSocketAppenderSocketOptionsTest.port}" protocol="SSL"
>       ignoreExceptions="false">
>       <JsonLayout properties="true"/>
>       <Ssl>
>         <KeyStore location="src/test/resources/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/net/ssl/client.log4j2-keystore.jks"
>           passwordEnvironmentVariable="KEYSTORE_PASSWORD" type="JKS" />
>         <TrustStore location="src/test/resources/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/net/ssl/truststore.jks"
