The way I have been able to get this is by: 1. enabling the integration api port using a sql query. 2. using the api to generate the keys using "http://cloudmanagementserver:8096/client/api?command=registerUserKeys&id=2&response=json” <— Notice id=2, this is base on me knowing what the admin user id will be ahead of time. You could also listusers to get the id as well. 3. parse the returned json to get the apikey and secretkey. 4. i disable the integration api port using a sql query. 5. now i can do everything over 8080 securely.
Hope that helps a bit.
