When adding a load balancing rule a SSL Certificate column is presented to the user, regardless of whether the network offering supports SSL offload,
This feature is only available when using a NetScaler.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Should not see option to upload an SSL certificate

ACTUAL RESULTS

Wouldn't it be better to support SSL offloading for the built-in load balancer instead?
HAProxy can do SSL termination, though some work to prepare the configuration and combine certificate and key into one blob may be needed.

[PaulAngus]

It would certainly be nice. I'm sure that the community would very much welcome the feature. But for now the UI promises something that can't be provided most of the time. And that's not ok...

Instead of removing the feature - we could allow admins/users to setup SSL termination via HAProxy that makes this an enhancement.
