In the loadbalancer, you can create certificates for all assigned webservers.
This works well for a certain number of certificates.

In haproxy.cfg the newly created certificates are added to the line
`bind *:443 ssl crt`

When you have a lot of certificates, you exceed the allowed number of characters per line, resulting in a

```

The easy fix is to replace the above config line with

```
bind *:443 ssl crt-list /etc/haproxy/crt-list.txt
```

and add all certificates into that crt-list.txt file.
