NimbostratusAppend domain when needed and redirect to HTTPS
Here is the background - we have a couple of internal F5s with a bunch of applications that we are doing SSL offloading on. When users access these applications they don't have to type the FQDN becau...

NimbostratusSorry about the confusion...this one is totally different. Now I am just taking about a standard url redirect, like a user puts in 'site1' and gets sent to 'http://sharepoint.domain.net/somesite/etc/'. I got about 300 of them all on 1 virtual. I have the same problem with not always getting the full domain in the host request. Today I have this:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] {
site1* {
HTTP::redirect https://sharepoint.domain.net/sites/default.aspx
}
helpdesk* {
HTTP::redirect http://remedy.domain.net/login
}
dashboard* {
HTTP::redirect https://dashboards.domain.net/corda/dashboards/
}
}
}
It is a really long irule, but it works. Seems like a datagroup would be easier to maintain than this. I came up with this, but I am wondering if there would be a better way.
class URL-REDIRECTS {
{
site1 { "https://sharepoint.domain.net/sites/default.aspx" }
helpdesk { "http://remedy.domain.net/login" }
dashboard { "https://dashboards.domain.net/corda/dashboards/" }
}
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
Remove domain and look up the requested host in the datagroup
set Host [class search -value URL-REDIRECTS eq [string map -nocase {".domain.net" ""} [HTTP::host]]]
log local0. "Host var is $Host"
if { $Host ne "" } {
HTTP::redirect $Host
}
}
Maybe I should have started a new thread on this one.....Anyway, I hope that clears up what I am trying to do. Thanks!
