Seems to me that the option you are reffering to is probably not the one you are looking for - it is suitable when you offload or bridge SSL and the ciphersuite negotiated between the client and server is not supported - then the traffic passes through. Is this your use case? If you want to use SSL Passtrough (meaning no SSL inspection at all) then simply do not attach either client or server SSL profile.
