Opening a new window for the server behind F5 is not working

Hi,

 

I am able to login and access my webserver through F5, but when i click a new tab it is opening a blank page. Whereas it is working properly when accessing the web server directly.

 

Appreciate anyone help.

  • Hi,

     

    Do i need to enable any persistance for opening a new windows for websever?

  • Hi Midhun,

     

    I don't exactly understand your problem. Do you click in a link in your application that opens a new tab? And that works when accessing the server directly and doesnt work when accessing over the virtual server?

     

    If it is a matter of persistence you can possibly disable all pool members except one. If it works with the virtual server now, persistence might solve your problem.

  • Hi,

     

    Yes, When i click any tab on the web server it is opening a new blank page , Not getting the output.

     

    Whereas It is working when we access the webserver directly (Bypass F5).

     

    We tried by keeping one pool member ,but still the same issue.

    did you try what @elfasso suggested? "If it is a matter of persistence you can possibly disable all pool members except one. If it works with the virtual server now, persistence might solve your problem."

     

  • HI ,

     

    I had tried that option , by keeping one member in the pool , but still the same issue existing, so i think this is not about persistence.

  • Hi,

     

    We have server listening on port 80 and client will access the server on port 443, We have configured TWO virtual servers, the HTTPS VIP that sends to the application, and the HTTP VIP that simply redirects requests to the HTTPS VIP.

     

    There is a IRULE Configured on the Virtual Server listening on port 80, To redirect the traffic from HTTP to HTTPS,

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [TCP::local_port] == 80 }{ HTTP::redirect "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]" } }

     

    And i have tested the website by use only one VS listening on Port 80, everything works well, able to access all the URL , but If i use HTTPS some URLs won't open .

      can you give an example of the URL to your page and then the URL to the new page that opens up?
  • Hi,

     

    We are not getting any URL for the not working page when we use through virtual server 443.

     

    and the page which is working through port 80 below is the URL

     

     

    We suspecting the java script of this part don't know how to honor the redirection response. Kinldy advice.

  • is it possible to have your back end website not use http, but just relative links?

     

    you could also look into a stream profile that rewrites all http into https.
