    You might consider using a Traffic policy (if you are on TMOS 11.4 or greater) 2 Minute Tech Tip: URL Redirects

    If not then you might want to consider an iRule something like this: 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
     if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/admin" } { 
     HTTP::redirect "/"
     }
     }

    Either way you will have to apply the traffic policy to the HTTP and HTTPS virtual server.

Another newb question. So that iRule is applied globally correct? Once i make that rule, it should take affect immediately?

 

Also, that rule should work for both HTTP and HTTPS correct?

 

Thanks,

Yes. iRules take effect immediatly. Also since you are using a relative redirect the iRule should work for both http and https as long as the virtual server has a http profile and the https virtual server is decrypting the client side.
