+### Running tests with HTTPS
+
+When running tests against a cluster configured to use HTTPS, use the `--https` flag to make tests expect HTTPS URLs:
+
+```bash
+ test/local-e2e-tests.sh --https
+```
+
 ### Running E2E tests as a project admin
 
 It is possible to run the E2E tests by a user with reduced privileges, e.g. project admin.
