NimbostratusHTTPS redirect
I am trying to do a redirect, if the end user types in https://mywebsite.com I want to redirect to https://www.mywebsite.com before the SSL handshake happens. Does anyone know if this is possible?
This is a pretty classic chicken & egg question we get asked a lot. Maybe we should write this up more clearly/prominently so people can find it more easily?
Both above posters are correct, unfortunately. You can't access encrypted data until it's unencrypted on the LTM. It can't be unencrypted (since no traffic passes at all) until the handshake occurs. So you're kind of stuck.
