doc: S7CommPlus-over-TLS and password-auth sections#719
Merged
Conversation
The unified Client has supported V2/V3 with TLS, mutual TLS, and password authentication on master since 4.0; the docs never explained how to use them. Add a focused TLS section (covering ``use_tls=True``, ``tls_ca`` for PLC verification, and the optional mutual-TLS ``tls_cert`` / ``tls_key`` pair) plus a short authentication example for password-protected PLCs. Also notes the V1-initial S7-1200 (FW < 4.5) limitation that's tracked in #710 and links to the cryptography optional extra. Refs #718.

Summary
use_tls=True, optional CA verification (tls_ca), and mutual TLS (tls_cert+tls_key).client.authenticate(password=...)) covering both the legacy SHA-1 and newer AES-256-CBC paths.Why
The unified Client has supported all of this on master since 4.0 — the implementation, scaffolding, and tests all exist (
s7/connection.py,tests/test_s7_tls.py,tests/test_s7_v2.py). The docs never told users how to use them.Refs #718.
