Instead of creating 3 VIPs, only one VIP(443) is enough to redirect connection.

 

Above iRule is correct but only iRule will not help to solve issue. You need to enable non-SSL connections on SSL profile.

Thank you .. if we apply the iRule

 

HTTP::redirect "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] : 1][HTTP::uri]"

 

on the VIP http ... will this redirect the traffic to https://test7883.com:8900

 

Here we have a HTTP VIP on port 8900 and HTTPS VIP running on a nonstandard port (8900).. So traffic coming to HTTP VIP i.e http://test7883.com:8900 should be forwarded to HTTPS VIP i.e. https://test7883.com:8900 which accepts https connections on port 8900.
