    Hi Vasu,

    Here is an example that may help 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {[HOST::uri] eq "/" } { 
        HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]:8787/bank/banknds/login/login.jsp" 
      } 
 }

    I hope this helps

    I'm guessing you probably want to rewrite the URI, not redirect the client to the internal web server port. If so, you can use HTTP::uri to rewrite the URI when a client requests the root document, /: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {[HTTP::uri] eq "/" } { 
       HTTP::uri "/bank/banknds/login/login.jsp" 
    } 
 }
