Hi, afaik the most common setup is (1) start (multiple) cloudstack management server with port 8080 (2) setup a reverse proxy (nginx/pfsense/haproxy, etc) which supports SSL termination and transparent LB. (3) upload ssl certificate in cloudstack GUI, and enable SSL for cloudsack console proxy and secondary storage.
