You'd have to terminate the SSL on the BigIP so it could decrypt the request, see that it contained "/" and redirect it. If you wanted to re-encrypt the traffic on its way to the VPN appliance, that's easy enough.

 

 

Just wanted to confirm that this host (www.company.com) isn't doing anything else, but this VPN portal...since we're redirecting all requests for the root directory.

 

Correct - that host is doing nothing else than acting as the VPN portal. There are a handful of URLs that are configured on that appliance:

 

 

https://www.company.com/group1

 

https://www.company.com/group2

 

https://www.company.com/group3

 

 

And so on...this is to support various user groups that have different requirements for VPN access. However, our main issue is that some users are not entering the URI portion at all and failing to reach the correct method for access.
