Hello,

 

It sounds like you are trying to redirect traffic to a different pool based on URI while also maintaining SSO authentication. However, you are encountering issues with the SSO process when attempting to redirect the traffic.

One approach you could consider is using an iRule to achieve this. With an iRule, you can inspect and manipulate traffic at a more granular level than with a local traffic policy. Here is an example iRule that may help you achieve your goal:

 

ruby
when HTTP_REQUEST { ### # Static variables ### set default_pool "sample-site.com-HTTPS" set non_default_pool "sample-site.com-NON-DEFAULT" # Check if the host matches if { [HTTP::host] ends_with "sample-site.com" } { # Check if the URI matches if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/non-default-page" } { # Redirect to non-default pool pool $non_default_pool return } else { # Redirect to default pool pool $default_pool return } } }

 

 

This iRule checks if the incoming request's host matches "sample-site.com". If it does, it checks if the URI starts with "/non-default-page". If it does, it redirects the request to the non-default pool. If it doesn't, it redirects the request to the default pool. Note that this iRule assumes that the SSO authentication is already complete, and does not interfere with that process.

It's also worth noting that if you want to keep the left side of the URL the same, you can modify the "pool" command to include the path portion of the URL, like this:

 

bash
pool "${default_pool}[HTTP::path]"
 

This will redirect the request to the default pool while preserving the left side of the URL. hope so it will help you
