Use DevTools in your browser to see what's going on client side. If not - then probably "tcpdump -vnni 0.0:nnnp -s0 -w /tmp/test.pcap" will give you the answer when analyzed in Wireshark :)

 I've been working with F5 support who has analyzed the tcpdump, but they are struggling to see what the issue is. In DevTools I can see lots of failures, and in those failures I can see the URI path is not correct (or not rewritten properly); however, the support engineer feels that DevTools is useless for this situation.

 

I have to think that this is a common issue and that perhaps something is missing from the configuration either on the virtual server or rewrite profile. Can you think of any configuration that I might be missing? Maybe Set-Cookie Rules in the Rewrite profile? Does something need to be configured to handle the backend app authentication? My Rewrite profile is pretty simple right now. Basically just the URI Translation rule with the paths, no other configurations in the profile.
