hello dears

I am able to access the server but I found new issue which it is that , the server using redirect in order to access it as below

 

https://192.168.1.1:9443

the server would response and redirect you to

https://192.168.1.1:8443

when I put the server in virtual server and created the required configuration the server itself reply me with the following error while trying to access the server using the virtual IP address that set to it

“The application could not be started because there is no connection to the backend services.
Please, contact your system administrator for assistance.”

    MustphaBassim First I would like to note that the server really should be corrected to provide the appropriate redirect instead of solving for this on the F5. If you wanted to test this yourself the following iRule might do what you need it to.

    when HTTP_REQUEST priority 500 {

 set HOST [HTTP::host]

}

when HTTP_RESPONSE priority 500 {

    if { ([HTTP::status] starts_with "3") and ([HTTP::header Location] contains ${HOST}) } {
        HTTP::header replace Location [string map {http: https:} [HTTP::header value Location]]
    }

}

    can you sanitize the configuration of your virtual server and your associated rules/policies/profiles/pools?
