View User Name Persistence vs_ad_auth Not Loading from iRule view_ssl_auth

SSL Offload to the connection servers. The vs_ad_auth VIP is also 80. All relevant logs are in the support case C1587416 if you have access to look. I'll also send you a separate email with the actual /var/log/ltm and /var/log/apm logs combined which is also on the ticket.

I've tried stipping the view_ssl_auth down to the basics but still cannot get it to fire the vs_ad_auth VIP. According to what I know, the below 2 examples should both trigger the "virtual [name] line and call the vs_ad_auth VIP. Only the 2nd example works.

Code

 FIRST TEST BROKEN DOWN TO BASICS 

 THIS NEVER CALLS THE vs_ad_auth VS when "virtual [name]" is inside HTTP_REQUEST_DATA
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::collect
}
when HTTP_REQUEST_DATA {
    log local0. "inside call to vs_ad_auth"
    virtual vs_ad_auth
}


 SECOND TEST BROKEN DOWN TO BASICS 

 When "virtual [name]" is inside regular HTTP_REQUEST", the "virtual [name]" command triggers the "vs_ad_auth" virtual server fine
 test rule to trigger a "virtual [name]" statement
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::collect
    log local0. "inside call to vs_ad_auth"
    virtual vs_ad_auth
}
