Hello,

I did setup of HAProxy 1.5 on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS for HTTP and HTTPs and it
is working fine for both. I used *SSL Pass-Through *instead of SSL
termination. in the *SSL Pass-Through* SSL connections directly sends to
the proxied/backend servers, the SSL connection is terminated at each
proxied server. Here SSL certificates configured on backend apache instead
of HAProxy.

Here is my scenario

-- Two backend server running with Apache http and https directory to serve
OFBiz code
-- HAProxy placed before two backend server to managing load for http and
https traffic with sticky session and failover.

I am sharing my HAProxy configuration file, see if it work for you. if you
don't want use http traffic the remove http block from file.

Thanks & Regards,
