 By default the controller redirects (301) to `HTTPS` if TLS is enabled for that ingress. If you want to disable that behavior globally, you can use `ssl-redirect: "false"` in the NGINX config map.

+## Default TLS Version and Ciphers
+
+To provide the most secure baseline configuration possible, nginx-ingress defaults to using TLS 1.2 and a [secure set of TLS ciphers](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/master/docs/user-guide/configmap.md#ssl-ciphers)
+
+## Legacy TLS 
+The default configuration, though secure, does not support some older browsers and operating systems. For instance, 20% of Android phones in use today are not compatible with nginx-ingress's default configuration. To change this default behavior, use a [ConfigMap](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/master/docs/user-guide/configmap.md#ssl-ciphers).
+
+A sample ConfigMap to allow these older clients connect could look something like the following:
+
+```
