Help with APM irule to append URI and URL to call to kill individual sessions

Hi I'm trying to figure out the best way to get this to work.  I need to take the incoming http request https://application.mydomain.com and append a URI.  Part of it is static URL/static/static/stat...

Hi,

If you want to redirect first request after authentication, you can use a variable assign with:

session.server.landinguri = expression expr{ "/static/static/static/[mcget {session.saml.last.attr.name}]" }

It will force to redirect the user to this url after succeded authentication

If you want to redirect for any request on / URL, you can use following irule

when ACCESS_ACL_ALLOWED {
  if { [HTTP::path] == "/" } {
    ACCESS::respond 302 noserver Location "/static/static/static[ACCESS::session data get "session.saml.last.attr.name"]"
  }
}

Thanks Stan.  When I try adding the variable assign I get a page can't be found and I don't see the URI appended in my browser.  When I use the Irule i see the redirect in the browser but I still get a page can't be found.  I'm thinking because of the DNS loop and the URL being tied to VIP #1.

    You will have to apply the select virtual after the apm policy processing. Since the VIP #2 does not have a dns entry, you will need to force it through via an irule to select the virtual after processing. Personally I'd recommend adding a dns entry, and make it simple, but you can do it in an irule to forcefully select the virtual.
