I was having a very similar problem until earlier this morning. I am running V2.1.0 on Windows Server 2012 R2 I am using a WSSO_Proxy server for authentication. However, I do have an OpenSSL certificate and CA installed and referenced in my local.ini
My Fauxton Databases page was working fine on HTTP (port 5984) but on HTTPS (port 6984) I was getting shards instead of my databases. I read through the explanations from @wohali above, and tried a number of different combinations. Finally got a local.ini file that would work. I thought I would share my file for reference. I changed a few things in the attached file for obfuscation purposes like the IP address company name in the URL and some characters in the hash values. Hopefully this will help someone else. Also, if anyone spots something "wrong" in my local.ini, please let me know.
