NimbostratusRedirection from HTTPS to HTTP
Hi Experts,
we have hosted many services under one PUBLIC IP and ONE VIP, we have one request for the one specific application.
where in traffic comes from outside world as https://test.abc.com and we want this to be redirected to port 80 in the network.
basically we want to configure redirection from https to http for test.abc.com
your help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The term "redirect" gets misused a lot, so I'm going to assume that you mean "proxied", as in you want external HTTPS traffic to pass through the F5 as HTTP (port 80) to the backend server, as opposed to actually redirecting the client to a completely separate external port 80 VIP.
If my assumption is correct, then this is an easy one. Apply a client SSL profile to the VIP to terminate client side SSL, and direct the traffic to a pool of port 80 servers. Make sure Port Translation is enabled in the VIP and the rest is automatic.
Basavaraj_16797Thank you but we have only one VIP and running multiple services on that, i am just scared if i apply any SSL client profile to that particular VIP it might send all the traffic to port 80
yes your correct, any traffic coming from https://test.abc.com i want F5 to send this t backend server as http://test.abc.com

So what are you doing now? Just passing SSL all the way through? No client and/or server SSL profiles?

We have created SSL client profile and applied to that particular VIP, this VIP is mapped to multiple pools.

Okay, so maybe I'm missing something, but as you've just described it you ARE decrypting at the BIG-IP for all of the sites. And I'm assuming you're not applying any server SSL profile, so all traffic between the BIG-IP and the internal pools is indeed unencypted. So what is it that you're doing for all of the other pools that you want to do differently for this one pool?
