Okay, so if you want to use the HTTP::redirect command, you need an HTTP profile assigned to the VIP. Try using the base HTTP profile and see how that treats you.

Other than that, this rule looks completely correct: 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] equals "uat.ac.com" and [HTTP::uri] equals "/"} {
    HTTP::redirect "https://uat.ac.com/Portal"
  }
}

If you're getting hung connections when running this iRule, and no errors are showing up in the LTM logs, I'd recommend running something like HTTPWatch or the like to see what's actually happening with the connection. Is it in a redirect loop? Is the back end rejecting the connection? What errors are showing up and from where?
