Hi All, My get a success response for my API requests made in HTTPS using the OpenShift route URL.

Please open an enterprise support ticket for speedy resolution. > [@danuka92](#): > > But when the same API request is made through external load balancer (Haproxy) \> Kong \> OpenShift service flow, I get the below error response. It seems like HA proxy is sending plaintext requests to the https port of Kong. You either need to configure HA proxy to send HTTPS requests to the HTTPS port of Kong or configure HA proxy to send requests to the HTTP(plaintext) port of Kong. ---

This error got resolved with ‘ssl verify none’ config for Kong ingress endpoint. But this is with SSL termination in the load balancer. Appreciate if someone can share the configuration in HA proxy and Kong for haproxy SSL pass-through with SSL termination at Kong ingress controller. Thanks! ---

From this additional information, it seems like you need to configure HA proxy to send HTTPS requests to the HTTPS port of Kong. And that should be about it.
