NimbostratusHow to remove the context /abc when deployed via F5
Internal URL is http://server1.com/abc/login.asp.
External F5 facing URL should be http://fqdn.com/login.asp.
How do I make F5 can remove the context so end users type /login.asp but it internally is seen as /abc/login.asp.
Thank-you

Nominally easiest and recommended method is via the rewrite profile... (Local Traffic / Profile / Services).
Failing that there is always the ProxyPass irule: https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare/proxypass-v10-v11.
Failing that you could do a [HTTP::path] extract regex and set, with an associated stream profile.
Try the rewrite profile first, it's really handy.

Hi,
You can try using a rewrite profile so you will be able to specify the client side and server side uri
Edouard_ZorrillGuys, thank-you for quick reply as I needed. You meant to say Local Traffic > Profiles > Services > HTTP ? I am not able to see there the client side and server side URI. Please advise. Thank-you,- Yann_DesmarestNo, I'm talking about rewrite profiles. You can also use them with APM

- Yann_DesmarestIt's really a rewrite profile that you need to configure. You have to setup a rewrite-uri-translation type
- Edouard_ZorrillGotcha!
- Edouard_ZorrillWhat should I use in the Rewrite ?. 1.- Ryle type as both, or request only ?. 2.- What should I use in the Client and Server URI ?.

You can have a look at the rewrite profile here: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-profiles-reference-11-6-0/2.html?sr=55049758
- Edouard_ZorrillThanks for all your help. Now it is working as I can see the login page.
- Edouard_ZorrillHowever now I am getting 404 after login for /abc/my.policy. It appears the rewriting is adding /abc/ to the /ma.policy. How can I get that fixed?.
- Edouard_ZorrillIt works, the rewrite permits me see now the logon page. Now I am getting 404 /abc/my.policy. How can I address that problem now?. Thanks as ever.

Hi,
In you case, the rewrite engine take place after The user has been authenticated. So one possible architecture is to use VIP targeting VIP. The access profile is on the internal VS and the rewrite profile on the external VS.
on the external VS, you just add the following irule :
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { virtual internal_vs }
