Include a simple method to import AD/LDAP certificates for external authentication

The current method to import the LDAP certificate to allow for external AD authentication is extremely complex, cumbersome, time consuming, and error prone. Multiple troubleshooting sessions are needed at times to figure out how to get the certificate imported correctly. To do so you have to exec into pods, copy and paste data, apply multiple yamls, etc. If a mistake is made in copy/paste, spacing, hidden characters, improper format, etc. it can cause the Turbonomic instance not to function at all as the entire authentication is broken. A proper "Import LDAP Certificate" button under the External Authentication area would save everyone on both sides a lot of time and headaches. A procedure like this is for those who have an advanced understanding of Kubernetes.
