The only way to log https is to have a full proxy with a verified security certificate. And you have to force the client devices to install your certificate.

Do you have full control of the end devices.

HTTPS is designed to prevent the government...who got caught doing it...from seeing what is actually passing in a session.

As mentioned above there is a method of using proxy BUT the end client will detect it. If these are say a company owned device you can configure them to trust your proxy and not give warnings.

Some companies still/used to do this. The risk is they are now in effect exposing people bank data and if someone were to hack their proxy the lawyers would sue them out of existence. More now they just completely block a lot of sites and tell employees to do non work related stuff on their personal cell phones on their own data plans.
