Bug Description
Evergreen master
We had reports of problems using selfcheck in the field: hostname/
It seems the problem is that if the browser uses http, it doesn't allow the browser to stay logged in and authenticated leading to a continuous problem using the selfcheck each time it tried to lookup a new user's barcode, it would ask for re-authentication.
Changing it to HTTPS worked fine in Chrome, but for some reason Firefox kept trying to go back to HTTP.
senator suggests in IRC that we may want to force the default apache config to use HTTPS for all selfcheck related traffic.

To note, Firefox is fine. Just had bad cached results screwing up http/https on my test machine.
