To remove SSL offloading for a virtual server (VIP), it is typically necessary to disable SSL processing and modify the virtual server configuration. This generally involves disabling SSL processing (with caution, as this will affect all SSL-based entities), modifying the existing SSL-based virtual server to remove its SSL configuration (changing the service type and potentially the port, and removing the certificate-key pair binding), and ensuring that appropriate non-SSL services are bound to the virtual server.
