Application redirection

Hollo Community 

We are creating an application in F5(legacy app). The application need to working on port 443 and we created a vip with port 443. When login in to the application it's redirecting to port 7900 and the connection got refused as we are not having a vip(on port 7900). Application team need secure connection towards vip and 7900 vip with pool creation not a suggested solution 

 

For example, if we try application in https://xys.com it's working and getting the login page. After providing login credentials it's redirecting to http://xys.com:7900 and blocking

After login I removed 7900 and refresh https:xys.com it's working as logged session.

 

Need your suggestion how I can establish secure connection for this vip all communication. If any 7900 traffic in browser it's should forward to port 443 .

    Hello Amir

     

    Are you expecting 7900-> 443 redirection in browser and application access?

    Please create a http vip with port 7900 and add_sys_https_redirect  irule. No need to add pool and if any request come to port 7900, F5 will redirect the traffic to https

    Yes Aswin_mk

    We need a complete secure connection as it's from internet. After login application will forward traffic to 7900, application team can't change it.
