Thanks for the quick responses. Let me explain this a different way. The application we have behind the F5 will occasionally redirect to an external site. If I have the HTTP profile rewrite set to all the application will work fine on the mydomain.com. But any redirects it will put https://externaldomain.com.

 

 

If I set the rewrite http profile setting to matching, some redirections within the application to mydomain.com will prompt the user with the message "you are about to be redirected to a connection that is not secure..." But external redirects are working fine (i.e. http://externaldomain.com)

 

 

Since I cannot change the application, I am trying to either stop the message from appearing by ensuring https (which I have done via an irule) or I need to rewrite the protocol for any instance that does not include mydomain.com. Unfortunately that is where I am still struggling.

 

 

Thoughts? for what is worth I am running BIG-IP 9.2.5 Build 5.1
