NimbostratusSharepoint URL redirect problem
Hello;
Sharepoint is open on port 81 on servers. So pool members are defined as XXXX:81. However virtual server is working on port 80.
Firstly when we tried access URL XXXX, it replied us with XXXX:81. So it wasn't working. The we created an irule and solved this issue. You can find it below.
Now; the problem is only about creating new user at sharepoint portal. When we go through Site Actions>Site Setup>Users and Groups and click to "New User", it again replies as http://XXXX:81/_layouts/aclinv.aspx?GroupId=5&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fnewportal%2F%5Flayouts%2Fpeople%2Easpx%3FMembershipGroupId%3D5, so doesn't work. If i delete ":81" and try again it works.
Althugh there is an irule that replaces 81 to 80, why i get this result when only creating a new user?
IRULE:
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
Check if server response is a redirect
if { [HTTP::header is_redirect]} {
Log original and updated values
log local0. "Original Location header value: [HTTP::header value Location],\
updated: [string map ":[TCP::remote_port]/ /" [HTTP::header value Location]]"
Do the update, replacing :
HTTP::header replace Location [string map -nocase {81 80} [HTTP::header value Location]]
}
}

Hi Ozgur,
Does the redirect rewrite iRule fix the problem? If not, can you use a browser plugin like Fiddler for IE or HttpFox for Firefox to see where the reference to port 81 is coming from? It could be in the Location header in a redirect or the payload content.
You should be able to use alternate access mappings to instruct the Sharepoint servers to use http:// and port 80 in their references to themselves. You can search the iRule forum for AAC or "alternate access mappings" for some related info.

ozgur_guler_344The above irule fixes most of the problem. Now i see this problem, only when creating a new user at sharepoint portal- hoolioSo then the second part of my comment applies:

If you do want to use an iRule to fix this, you can use a browser plugin like Fiddler for IE or HttpFox for Firefox to see where the reference to port 81 is coming from. It could be in the Location header in a redirect or the payload content. You can use HTTP::header to update headers and a blank stream profile with a STREAM::expression (Click here) based iRule to rewrite response payload content.
