When creating a southbound Netconf connection over TLS to a device, using restconf and the odl-netconf-clustered-topology feature in Fluorine SR1, the connection setup fails.

From ODL traces, it looks like ODL is attempting to setup an SSH connection, even though TLS is specified in the restconf call. See the attached trace log.

The same restconf call successfully sets up a Netconf connection over TLS when the non-clustered odl-netconf-topology feature is used. See the attached restconf URL.

When testing the odl-netconf-clustered-topology feature, the actual ODL deployment is not clustered. But according to the ODL documenation, this should still work. Testing with an actaulyl clustered ODL deployment has not yet been done.
