This is a major issue. Without the SSL folder, if you try to provision a new machine by restoring a backup (and the http integration refers to keys in the SSL folder), the restore will fail without explanation, and the installation will be unusable and inaccessible.

I wasted hours on this. I hooked up a monitor to the new machine, and it still wasn’t apparent until I looked carefully at the core logs and noticed that an error was generated by inability to locate the SSL key in the ssl folder (and thereafter failed to set up http).
