Simple redirect ?

Ok, this probably doesn't qualify for Adv Configuration but I couldn't find a spot where this question would fit.     How I can create a redirect so that if a user tries to go to:   ...

Hi Jcribb,

I am assuming that you have a vip for listening on port 80 and another vip listening on port 443

Based on this you could create an irule for port 80 redirect only

Which would look like the following 

  
    
  when HTTP_REQUEST {  
     HTTP::redirect "https://webmail.mysite.com/home/mail/default/"  
   }

This would take care of anyone going to port 80 and would be redirected correctly to https

-------------

The following example is the virtual server for port 443. Assuming this is for clients already using https but not the correct URI path you wanted 

  
  when HTTP_REQUEST {  
     if { ([HTTP::Host] eq "webmail.mysite.com") and ([HTTP::uri] eq "/") } {  
          HTTP::redirect "https://webmail.mysite.com/home/mail/default/"  
        }  
  }

I hope this helps
