NimbostratusPort Translation/Irule query
Hello Team,
My VS is listening to port no.80 and backend servers are listening on port no.443.
Port translation is enabled.
Do I need to use the irule to redirect the HTTP request on VS to...

NimbostratusYou 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.

NimbostratusThanks Iaine.
If I wanted my client to connect on 443 instead of 80, that would require a whole new virtual server configuration altogether along with the client side SSL profile.
Irule would redirect the traffic from port 80 towards VS listening on port 443...isn't it?
Let me know if you think otherwise.
Thanks,
Dayesh
