as soon as I type in URL in IE and click Enter, I get security certificate warning (which I assume it is from F5 due to clientssl profile), and then I get stuck there. clicking on 'continue to this website (not recommended)' does not go through. and on my F5 statistics, I do not see any hit on the nodes ( I do see statistics go up for my virtual server and iRule).

 

BTW correction on my iRule: when HTTP_REQUEST { set uri [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] if { $uri contains "data" } then {HTTP::redirect "https://192.168.1.1:1000/data" } elseif {$uri contains "info" } then {HTTP::redirect "https://192.168.1.2:2000/info" } }

 

it seems that my iRule does not take affect (although statistics are indicating that it is getting hit).

 

one more thing, I wouldn't want our customers see our private IP address in the URL if iRule was working. Please advise if I should take different approach.

 

thanks, Dew
