What Kubernetes platforms are you running on?

Steps to reproduce

NOTE: Re-creating a closed issue that was technically never addressed. I was asked to create an issue. I ran into this myself just today with NIC v 5.2.1.

The following was in the previously reported issue:

Describe the bug
I was add "ssl-redirect: True" option to my config map but cert manager doesn't work with enabled this option because it try http request which redirects to https by ingress. Also I can't disable this option from config map and rule
if ($scheme = 'http') { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }
always present in my nginx configuration.

Expected behavior
Redirect 301 disappear from nginx configuration if I disable ssl-redirect when set option "ssl-redirect: False" or cert manager challenge request works with enabled this option
