May 19, 2010Proxy Pass iRule Question
Ok, I am not sure if I have posted in the right thread, but here is my issue.
I am trying to incorporate a proxy pass pass feature on the Big IP, I have used the proxy pass rule available on the devcentral, the requirement is
http://sitea.domain.com/abc/whatever/path/html
That needs to get redirected (Transparently) to http://abc.domain.com/whatever/path/html
This works perfectly fine with the Proxy pass implementation
I need to have a redirection, https://sites.domain.com/secure/some/html <==> https://secure.domain.com/some/html
The secure.domain.com is a domain which needs end to end security, since the request cant be seen, i need to use clientssl (to decrypt and do some stuff with it if need be) and since it needs to be end to end i need to use the serverssl to reencrypt it.
Here is the VIP configuration
VIP Name: sitea.domain.com
Port : 80
Default Pool : sites.domain.com (HTTP Pool)
iRule : ProxyPass_iRule
VIP Name: sites.domain.com_https
Port: 443
Client SSL :
Default Pool : sites.domain.com (HTTP Pool)
iRule : ProxyPass_iRule
VIP name: secure.domain.com
POrt :443
Client SSL:
Server SSL: serverssl
default Pool: SECURE (HTTPS Pool)
iRule : None
Data Groups
Name: ProyPasssitea.domain.com
"sites.domain.com/secure secure.domain.com SECURE"
Having said this, any traffic coming on the HTTPS://sites.domain.com/secure/blah/blah coming will be decrypted by the Client SSL profile and the proxy pass iRule will find a match, it will change the domain and send it to the SECURE pool, but please note at this point, according to my thought process the data will be uncrypted and will be trying to be sent to a HTTPS pool, so the connection might break.
Is this so, or am I mistaken? will this work ? Also, when the return traffic comes back from that pool memeber what would happen

On close inspection of the iRule, i think i got my answer ....
