Jan 29, 2008Replace server hostname with DNS name
I have serveral DNS names setup that point to my virtual server - an irule directs clients to a pools based on the DNS name. I have two hosts in each of the pools - when the user clicks on the logon link for the Oracle 11i ebusiness app it now displays the server host name instead of the original DNS name used - we do not want the users saving favorites to the server host names behind the F5 - we want the F5 to load balance. Using an irule, how can I change the server hostname back to the original DNS name? how can I stop the user from seeing the server hostname.
Thank you

Hello,
Can you post your current rule and obfuscated examples of what URLs the client requests and is redirected to?

I'm sorry if I was unclear - I'm very new to LTMs and this forum. I a DNS name; in this case http://ora-dev1. Which gets directed to a pool that has 2 member servers.
Once at the login page we start to see the name of the server: http://servername.mycompany.com:8016/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp?requestUrl=APPSHOMEPAGE&cancelUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fservername.mycompany.com%3A8016%2Foa_servlets%2Foracle.apps.fnd.sso.AppsLogin
I would like to replace servername.mycompany.com with http://ora-dev1
I'm not sure how to accomplish this with an irule. - Shaun_81936

No I did not realize that - Oracle is new for this company - I will talk with the developers.
Thanks again.
