With `ssl` set on the `server` option, HAProxy strips the TLS protocol
for all clients. You would need to connect to it with `http://<ip>:443`.
To have an active health check, which uses SSL, but does not strip it
for clients, you'd need to add:
- `check` to enable active health checks.
- `check-ssl` to instruct the health check to use TLS
- `verify none` to skip verification on the health check requests from
HAProxy
- _REMOVE_ `ssl` to stop stripping TLS
The active health checks are required to not route any requests to the
inactive managers. These would redirect to any unusable IP from the
active mgr.

Alternatively you could add another certificate in the frontend and then
re-encrypt the traffic. But this would require tracking the certs also
in HAProxy.
