HTTPS redirect

I currently use an Irule to resolve a URL when a user only type part of it. For example....they type http://www.gv.com/ and the bigip will direct them to http://www.gv.com/whatever/index.html.   ...

What you need to have is HTTP within the BIGIP so that you can update the data.

 

 

Or right now you only have HTTPS between the client and the server which makes it impossible for the bigip to modify the uri.

 

 

But if you add a clientSSL profile and a server SSL profile to the VS then you have the following

 

 

client <---SSL ---> BIGIP <--SSL--->server

 

 

But it will be two differents SSL transactions so in this case except if you import the SSL certificates from your web servers into the BIGIP, the client won't see the server's certificate.

 

 

But since you use those SSL profiles, it will be HTTP inside the BIGIP and you'll be able to assign a HTTP profile to your VS too
