Nimbostratusredirect 4x to 9x
Hi Everybody!
I am having trouble migrating an 4.x rule to an iRule. Basically it is like this.
client connects to http://website.com
needs to go to https://website.mydomain.com/login/ but then also keep any URI intact following the log in.
SSL is terminated on the BigIP with a client ssl profile.
In 4x the clients came in on 80 and were redirected to the SSL proxy with this rule:
redirect to "https://website.mydomain.com/login/"
The SSL proxy then went to a loopback to which another rule is applied like this:
if (http_uri matches_regex "^/$") {
redirect to "https://website.mydomain.com/login/"
}
else {
use ( webpool )
}
I am trying to achieve the same thing with 9.x and so far not having any luck.
I have tried multiple methods to achieve this and more than I could list here, but basically the redirect is redirecting to the log in page, but then after logging in something breaks on the backend. Any suggestions for sucessfuloly converting this rule?
Thanks,
Brad
brad_scherer_11Hi Colin. My setup is exactly as you indicated it should be. Port 80 VS with Irule to reidrect to Port 433 VS with SSL termination. The iRule I tried to implement last night unsucessfuly is listed here:
Redirect
when HTTP_REQUEST {
redirect to "https://[HTTP::host]/login/"
}
Your rule looks like this: (I have not had an opportunity to test this yet)
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/login/"
}
These are both very similar except your rule adds HTTP:: before the redirect command. Can you explain to me the difference and why my rule did not work for me?
Thanks,
Brad
