Public bug reported:

Most of the load balancers allow termination of TLS connections. A load balancer may run a TLS connection on the client side while running an unencrypted connection at the server side - which is called offloading and is currently supported by the LBaaSv2 API.
Another common practice is terminating the TLS connection at the load balancer - in order to allow L7 decision making or header manipulation, and running a TLS session on the server side. This is not supported by the current implementation.
