NimbostratusMultiple Host going to one vip
Hello, I am working with a client that has many URL that they want to go to one. I have tried the following and it did not work. Can some one please point me in the right direction on this?
This should work with or without "www" in front of the URL and get all of the .com, .net & .org
if it is one of these URL then redirect it to the https://www.google.com
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::host] contains "google" or "yahoo" or "ask" or "msn"} {
HTTP::redirect https://www.google.com
}
}
Thank you for your help.

- The_BhattmanYou might want to try using the switch statement (only because it's cleaner to look at, atleast in my mind 😄
when HTTP_REQUEST { switch -glob [HTTP::host] { "*google*" { HTTP::redirect https://www.google.com } "*ask*" { HTTP::redirect https://www.google.com } "*msn*" { HTTP::redirect https://www.google.com } } }
more about switches you can go to the following link

Curtis_18555Thank you, This worked great! Now that I have this working I am having a problem with all of these certs going to one. I do have a Redirect/Rewrite HTTP Profile set up on this VIP, But the client still gets Security Alert that “The Name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name on the site” Do you have any thoughts on how I can fix this problem? And again thank you for your help.

Hi,
the common name included in the certificate must match the host that the browser has in the url.
is this what you have ?
HTH- Curtis_18555I understand what you are say here, But I am useign this iRUle to rediest 10+ URL's to one, and yes they are all https (443). So I need to find out how not get the Security pop ups and still be redirected. Thanks for your help.
- Nicolas_Menanthi,
if all your hosts looks like game.someulr.com, test.someurl.com, fun.someurl.com
you should try to have a look at wildcard certificates
wildcard certificates look like this: *.someurl.com. this way you won't have your popup when you are redirected.
if all your redirects are completely different url then it won't be possible.
iRules won't be able to help for this

If the hosts aren't on the same domain, you could also try getting a certificate with multiple subject alternate names (SANs). Try searching online or in this forum for some additional info.
Aaron- The_BhattmanYep, unfortuantly there is no way to intercpet the https request to look for that information before the security alert is presented. You have hit the check and egg with this one. Wildcard is usually the only answer as, nmeanant has stated.
