TLS Termination / Passthrough

[mohammadll]

Where is the problem?

https://docs.konghq.com/kubernetes-ingress-controller/3.0.x/guides/services/tls/

What happened?

In the TLS document, in the description section, it is written that Terminate mode listeners require certificate Secret reference in the listeners[].tls.[]certificateRefs field.
However, if you pay attention to the examples section, in the example related to TLS termination, we can see that the tls.mode is set to Passthrough and certificateRefs is not used.

apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Gateway
metadata:
name: example-gateway
spec:
gatewayClassName: kong
listeners:

• name: https
  port: 443
  protocol: HTTPS
  hostname: "demo.example.com"
  tls:
  mode: Passthrough

What did you expect to happen?

I was expecting tls.mode to be equal to Terminate in this example and also listeners[].tls.[]certificateRefs to be used.
