Jenkins has some trouble with https

[landauf]

Often jenkins switches from https to http when clicking an url. Also login doesn't always work (or only after closing and opening the website again).

I see that jenkins is started with these command-line arguments:

--httpPort=8080
--httpListenAddress=127.0.0.1

According to ​https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Starting+and+Accessing+Jenkins it may be possible to use these arguments instead:

--httpPort=-1 (disable http)
--httpsPort=8443
--httpsListenAddress=127.0.0.1

After that, the apache configuration to redirect /jenkins to localhost:8080 should be changed to redirect to localhost:8443.

Maybe this solves the issue.
