HTTP to HTTPS redirect over the same port

Hello,

we found the solution for the Problem. A few years ago a person had the same problem:

https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/http-to-https-redirect-on-non-standard-port

So you just have to use the iRule:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { 
    set https 0 
 } 
 when CLIENTSSL_HANDSHAKE { 
    set https 1 
 } 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {not ($https)}{ 
       HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] 
    } 
 }

And to activate non-SSL in your SSL Profile under Local Traffic -> Profiles -> SSL -> Client -> (Profile you are using)

After that you are able to set the iRule on your SSL virtual server.

Where are you terminating the SSL - on F5 or servers ?

 

I am not sure if you know this but you can have a set up like this: VS:80 VS:443

 

Both VS can then be attached to a common pool with pool members listening on port 25001 and you can have HTTP to HTTPS redirect iRule on VS:80
