Hi Kamlesh,

to add a leading subfolder for every incomming HTTP request, you may use the iRule below as a starting point...

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    HTTP::uri "/rest2ldap[HTTP::uri]"

}

Note: Keep in mind, that this iRule would change request for 

/
to 
/rest2ldap/
but also 
/something
to 
/rest2ldap/something
or even 
/somethingother
to 
/rest2ldap/somethingother
. If you require just some URIs to become changed, then you have to use additional 
[if]
or 
[switch]
conditions to filter the URIs where the translation is required.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { ( [HTTP::uri] equals "/" ) or ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/something") } then {
         Change the URI
        HTTP::uri "/rest2ldap[HTTP::uri]"
    } else {
         Do not change the URI...
    }
}

Cheers, Kai
