If the default cfg behaviour is "1", then that tells us "someone" has
set up the TLS environment and thus the domain/chardev override would be
"no".

If the default cfg behaviour is "0", then that means we cannot guarantee
the environment necessary has been set up and we cannot allow the
domain/chardev setting to enable TLS.
