SSL not supported on OTLP/gRPC port 4317

[paya-cz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Following the OpenTelemetry docs, where SSL is mentioned as a feature:
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/tree/main/packages/exporter-trace-otlp-grpc

const collectorOptions = {
  // url is optional and can be omitted - default is grpc://localhost:4317
  url: 'grpc://<collector-hostname>:<port>',
  credentials: grpc.credentials.createSsl(),
};

I am never able to send any traces if I enable SSL. If I however do not enable SSL, everything works fine.

Describe the solution you'd like

Either provide better errors/docs that SSL is not supported, or add support for SSL.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Disable SSL.
