You can use them to define the behavior of specific traffic types. 1. From the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vmware/), open the Cloud Director panel: in the top menu click **Products** → **VMware-based Cloud** → the **Cloud Director** section. 2. Open the **Networking** → **Edge Gateways** tab. 3. Open the page of the required Edge. 4. Click **SERVICES**. 5. Open the **Load Balancer** → **Application Profiles** tab. 6. Click **+**. 7. Enter the profile name. 8. In the **Type** field, select the traffic type for which the profile will be applied. 9. Optional: to save and track session data (for example, which server from the pool serves the user request), select the parameter to do so in the **Persistence** field. User requests will be directed to the same pool member for the duration of the session or subsequent sessions. 10. To stop the Edge from terminating SSL and have the termination occur directly on the servers being balanced, turn on the **Enable SSL passthrough** toggle. 11. To identify the original IP address of a client connecting to a web server through a load balancer, turn on the **Insert X-Forwarded-For HTTP header** toggle. 12. To specify that the selected pool consists of HTTPS servers, turn on the **Enable Pool Side SSL** toggle. 13. If you selected **HTTPS** in the **Type** field, to balance HTTPS traffic, enable the **Enable Pool Side SSL** toggle and select a certificate: * for a virtual server — on the **Virtual Server Certificates** → **Service Certificate** tab; * for a [server pool](/public-cloud/manage-load-balancer/add-server-pool.mdx) — on the **Pool Certificates** → **Service Certificate** tab.
