You don't have to use iRule to redirect from http to https. Port translation will do it. however you will have to use serverssl profile to allow encrypted session between F5 and server.

 

This is my thinking not sure F5 experts thinks elsewise.

Thanks Kapil.

 

Completely understand the prerequisites of the profiles.

 

I need experts to confirm if port translation would do the redirect and no irule will be required.

 

Thanks
