[Koha] Secure staff client

I'm working to switch our Staff client to use SSL security.  It looks as 
if I can do this by setting up Apache properly.

However, there is a setting in the System Preferences which lists the 
Staff client URL, and that does not give us the opportunity to use a URL 
with "https".  The information on that page is 'hardcoded' to "http".

My question is: Where does that setting value come into play?  What 
functionality is going to look at that value from the database and 
attempt to use it to contact the staff client?

I can change the port number, but if it really uses the http rather than 
https protocol, then something will not properly connect to the staff 
client web interface.  I don't know what all that might be.

Has anyone run into problems with this?  Can anyone tell me where this 
makes a difference?

Thanks,
Tom
