Hi Michael,

 

 

The site is external and it can get resolved if the connecting users adds it to their trusted site, however, we would like to accomplished this so they don't

 

have to go through this extra step since the connecting users are external. The underlining issue is that the LB is redirecting you to another URL and IE does not

 

like that therefore it throws an error. We want to somehow rewrite the URL without redirecting the users if possible to avoid this popup error. So if they

 

put http://www.URL1.com, their brower will get refreshed/reconnected as https://www.URL2.com. Can this be done or do we have to setup a new IP and

 

VS on the LTM and apply the redirect rule there so they go out and come in as https://www.URL2.com?

 

 

As a note: URL1 and URL2 uses the same external IP address, so it makes it a little bit more difficult since it goes to the same VS with SSL profile allocated to that VS.

 

 

Thanks,
