Just to follow up on this, I did get HAproxy working with SSL termination in TCP mode.

The only annoyance on this setup now is that HAproxy wants the SSL certificate and key in one PEM encoded file, not separate files. So eventually I'll have to cat the two into one again when it eventually expires ... or write a cron or similar task that checks if they've changed and do so and then restart HAproxy. But it's a couple of years away so we'll just forget about it and then have it bite us later ;)

If only ipa-getcert had a single file combined PEM mode...

Yes, that was clear -- I was more worried on not going that backwards
with LDAPS replacement of what is relying on LDAP STARTTLS + GSSAPI.
