CirrusMaintain client requests in the backend
Hey guys,
We configured bigip to load balance citrix servers.
The requirement is that the client requests should be as it is, but the backend citrix keeps redirecting the client.
Also we have 2 vips one for port 80 and one for 443 and need to keep both active.
The http vip works fine but when the client visits on https, the citrix server redirects to http://
So in summary:
Client req should be in the backend.
http req works fine.

Is the back end web server sending http links in the https session ? or is the backend server redirecting you via a http 30X to a http server example, client connections to https://ctx.com backend web server responds with a 301/302 to http://ctx.com ?
If the above is the case cant you just not turn the redirect of on the server ? or maybe do ssl offloading client connects on https to vip - vip speaks http to backend server
davidfisherI as the client only request with https:// or http:// so the server redirects to the URI
/Citrix/blahIf I disable the redirects how will my client request get the URI?
And yes what you said is right, the backend servers sends 302 and redirects to http://

Use the http profile knob described above to use the built in ltm functionality to solve these redirect issues.
