SSL Admin Control Panel With Apache Proxy

I am trying to use a purchased certificate to secure the admin control panel but am not able to get the certificate to be passed to the browser.

I have set up an apache proxy to forward https://plesk.mydomain.com to https://plesk.mydomain.com:8443 by creating a new domain "plesk.mydomain.com" and adding:

vhost_ssl.conf
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyRequests off

ProxyPass / https://plesk.mydomain.com:8443/
ProxyPassReverse / https://plesk.mydomain.com:8443/

This works fine but doesn't use any SSL certificate.

The plesk setting for Full hostname * is plesk.mydomain.com
I have loaded the SSL certificate through Admin Home > SSL Certificates, bound it to the exclusive IP used, and also used the option for: "Secure Control Panel" with this certificate selected. Rebuilt configuration files with "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -v -a". Stopped / Started Apache, did the same with PSA.

Am I missing something here or is this just not possible with the apache proxy?

If I use https://plesk.mydomains.com:8443 it loads the SSL certificate fine, but if I just use https://plesk.mydomain.com it does not.
