Here is the config:

 

ltm virtual EventLive_to_JStream { description "Eventlive to jstream redirect" destination 10.40.2.55:https ip-protocol tcp mask 255.255.255.255 pool Jstream_Live profiles { Exchange_Front_End_HTTPS_header_insert { } clientssl { context clientside } serverssl { context serverside } tcp { } } rules { jstream_redirect } source 0.0.0.0/0 vlans { VLAN_402 } vlans-enabled vs-index 50 }

 

ltm rule jstream_redirect { when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

HTTP::redirect https://jstream.hhmi.org/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=a2bfbad7-0028-4a4f-a5bb-cdbe006ff35f }

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] equals "10.40.2.55" } { HTTP::header replace "Host" "jstream.hhmi.org/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=a2bfbad7-0028-4a4f-a5bb-cdbe006ff35f" } } }

 

Notice from the iRule that I first tried URL redirect and that didn't give the result I was looking for. so I tried Header replacement, which doesn't seem to work right.

 

Thank you very much for your time.
