Incoming TLS traffic to an application can be terminated in different ways, either at the Gateway or on the endpoint application. And where you are going to terminate TLS traffic matters a lot for the configuration that you are going to use.

If TLS traffic is terminated by the endpoint application, the Gateway doesn't deal with certificates, but it just accepts incoming traffic on port 443, and that will be passed through the endpoint application port 443.
