title: Enable HTTPS in jenkins?
body: <p>I have a private network with a local IP.
  I want to Enable HTTPS for my Jenkins server which is static IP W.X.Y.Z:8080.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Jenkins version 2.9
  java version "1.7.0_111"
  OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.7) (7u111-2.6.7-0ubuntu0.14.04.3)
  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.111-b01, mixed mode)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried configuring in /etc/defaults/jenkins file the following arguments</p>
  
  <pre><code>HTTP_PORT=-1
  JENKINS_ARGS="--webroot=/var/cache/$NAME/war -DsessionTimeout=1 --httpPort=$HTTP_PORT  --httpsPort=8081"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I get the following errors. Please help</p>
