No, but should work without problems. Configure a virtual server per required port. Also, make sure you match the persistence for the different virtual servers. Check this solution about that:

I am assuming the SSO part is done by the servers, otherwise you need APM to be able to do that in the F5.

Hey Leonardo

 

Thanks for your reply.But i was going through fiddler to see the communication and saw that for SSO, First , session is established to the OHS on port 9797 and then the client talks with the Oracle Access manager on port 14100 , which comes back to F5 again and had to created virtual server for that as well.After that, this setup started working.Currently i have done only 9797 service.if am doing 8080 as well, i will use irule for the SSO virtual server right ? and based on uri, i can redirect to the pool ?

 

switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {

 

"/index.html" - "/benefits/" - "/analytics/" - "/xmlpserver/" - "/ui" - "/mapviewer/" - "/bicomposer" - "/bisearch/" - "/console/" - "/biacm/" - "/bimiddleware/" - {

 

/ URI b URI

pool URI_b_pool } default {

 

non-/site a URI

pool URI_default_pool }

 

}

 

I had gone through irule, am kind of new but this should work right ? when i use this in irule, it gives error at 'default' .I am not sure why. I need to use this , because there is multiple uri which needs to be redirected to the same pool, and if not these, then go to default .
