Redirect and hide URL+URI

Hi,

 

Trying to set up a VMware Horizon admin connection to rewrite and hide the underlying URL and for the life of me I can't figure it out although it feels like I should be able to.

 

Requirements:

 

redirect --> http://myURL.domain.com/ OR https://myURL.domain.com/

to --> https://mySERVER.domain.com/myURI/#/login

 

mask --> https://mySERVER.domain.com/ANYURI

as --> https://myURL.domain.com/ANYURI

 

The idea being that whenever a user navigates to the URL, all they ever see is the URL and corresponding URIs after the trailing "/" in the browser. Just seeing the base URL and no URIs after the trailing "/" is also ok.

 

I have successfully done the redirection on the VS with both iRule and Policy but the masking is giving me a headache. Searching and finding various solutions that did not seem to address this particular type of request made my headache worse. I have about 8 months of experience with load balancers (maybe 4 months with F5 BIG-IP LTM specifically).

 

Thanks.
