Proxy a web service

I have a VS, Pool, Nodes that point to an IP address of a webserver hosting a webservice. That service is called via "https://servername/foldername/admin/" from within my domain. I have the pool equal to servername by IP Address. That IP Address redirects the user to a default site not the web service ("https://servername/foldername/admin/") that I want the user to hit.

 

How do I redirect traffic to this webservice. I want to use the BigIP for SSL and security reasons. Is APM or LTM best for this?

    Even when it depends on how the web app is configured and is intended to work, you may try this iRule on your VS:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::uri] == "/") } {
HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]/foldername/admin/
   }
 }
