Feb 25, 2008HTTP Redirect/Rewrite iRule question
I'm kind of new to this, so I'm not even sure if what I'm trying to do is possible or if I'm going about it all wrong.

Feb 27, 2008I've worked with the ProxyPass iRule a little bit and it's pretty slick, but a lot of it's over my head and I'm not sure if it addresses my particular issue.
I need two things to happen, and both of them are between the F5 and the client web browser. I need the client web browser to connect to a particular https web address with no certificate errors, while displaying a different web address in the address bar of the browser.
Let me give some more details:
Let's say I have two virtual servers receiving http and https requests for www.abc.com, and both are associated with the same server pool. Requests are either http or https based on links within the website and are not redirected from http to https by the F5. But when a https request is received I would like to redirect the client browser from "HTTPS://www.abc.com" to "HTTPS://abc.xyz.com" where both domains point to the same F5 virtual server address and "xyz" is a known constant. The reason for all this trouble is because the SSL certificate being hosted on the F5 is for the domain "abc.xyz.com". I would like the client browser to connect to "HTTPS://abc.xyz.com" without any certificate error or name mismatch messages, but still show "HTTPS://www.abc.com" in the client web browser address bar.
Again, what I'm asking might not be possible, but if it is I'd love to know how.
