NimbostratusF5 Configuration with Lotus Domino
Hi,
My main goal is to migrate our webmail (Lotus Domino) from HTTP to HTTPS and the SSL termination should be done on BigIP.
Problem we faced while doing this:
We were able to get the login page but after entering the credentials it will show me the "page cannot be displayed" page. If we refresh the page or deleted the Whole URL and issued again it will launch my inbox and everything will work perfectly henceforth.
Observations on this issue
We ran a HTTP watcher while accessing this webpage and found that all the requested URL's are in HTTPS except one when we are clicking the login button. This URL is in HTTP.
When checked with the Lotus team I came to know that this is a normal behavior of Lotus. I wrote an iRule to convert the same but unfortunately it didn't worked.
So as per the situation, all the HTTP redirection which has sent by the server should seen as HTTPS by the client browser. Can anyone have any solutions or is this can be achieved on BigIP LTM?
Any Help will be highly appreciated.
BR..

- Hi Tharum,
It sounds like what you're looking for is a stream profile. Go into "Local Traffic" > "Profiles" > "Other" > "Stream" and create a new profile. You can then specify a source string and target stream. The source is what the stream profile searches for and the target is what it replaces it with. In this case the config might look something like this:profile stream stream_change_http_links_to_https { defaults from stream source "http://myhost" target "https://myhost" }
Here is the AskF5 overview of the stream profile as well as a Tech Tip that also covers stream profiles in iRules:

Just doing "redirect rewrite" from the http profile should handle this as well.
