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.   ...

I am sorry if I am leaving info out but like I said I am new to this.

 

 

We have the client authenticate at the server after they pass through the Bigip. No SSL profiles are present at this time. The actual server has the certificate on it and the decryption/encryption happens on the server side.

 

 

I understand that the Bigip cannot us an HTTP Irule because the information that passes through is encrypted. I tried to put an SSL Client and Server profile on the VS but could not connect to the application at all.

 

 

should the client ssl profile decrypt allowing the HTTP Irule to work and then encrypt again and send the request to the server along with the client cert??

 

 

If this is the case, how should the profiles be set up...should I have it ignore the client cert, do I need to have a cert on the bigip, or can I use the default cert on the bigip???

 

 

Thanks

 

Mike
