NimbostratusRedirect or Append URI with a new path /newpath, for a https website.
What is the best way to handle an https site that requires authentications, but would like the F5 to append or redirect traffic to a new path?
https://exam.mycomp.com/ to https://exam.mycomp.com...
You should be able to use the same iRule on your 443 virtual server as long as you apply a client SSL profile. If your servers on the back end are expecting SSL, then yes you will need to apply a server SSL profile as well. The standard serverssl profile will do in most cases unless the server is doing some kind of certificate based authentication.

Nimbostratusthis is the current one. I've tested this on a test vip on 443. It appears to work.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if {[HTTP::host] eq "vanityname" || [HTTP::host] eq "vanityname.mycomp.com" } {
HTTP::redirect "https://exam.mycomp.com/newpath/"
}
}

Since you're redirecting away from the original host request, no path checking should be needed. This shouldn't put you in any redirect looping scenarios.- Wayne_159516Ah, i see. Thank you.
