Help needed for irule to deny wildcard uri with exceptions

[D99]

Hi folks,

Need your advise on creating an irule for the below requirement

need to block the following uri cloud.du.ae/cloud/* with an exception if SAML appears in the URI

like lets say cloud.du.ae/cloud/abc/saml should be allowed but all other URI's with /cloud should be blocked

Thanks in advance.

Use a Local Traffic Policy with a First Match strategy.

K15085:  Overview of the Local Traffic Policies feature (11.4.0 - 12.0.0)

Create a rule with conditions

hostname is cloud.du.ae

HTTP URI begins with cloud

HTTP URI contains saml

that forwards traffic to the pool

Create a second rule to redirect requests starting with cloud to somewhere else (or drop the request)

 

Finally add a final default rule that forwards all requests to the pool.

 

Order your rules so that they match in correct order:
