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.
