our old application url that pointed to the F5 vip was mybicrt.company.com. The new code is mybicrt.company.com/analytics. i created the following that achieves that part of it when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } { HTTP::redirect "/analytics/" log local0. "redirect" } } now the problem is that users have links to dashboards saved that look like this https://mybicrt.company.com/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executive and we need them to redirect to https://mybicrt.company.com/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executive basically the irule we have setup stops at analytics and I need a way to add /analytics after mybicrt.compan.com but keep the rest of the url there. Also there are a ton of dashboard links that are all different. is this possible. Thanks Andrew

Andrew, Have you tried... HTTP::redirect "/analytics/[http::uri]" See if that works. N

Slight updates :) HTTP::redirect "/analytics[HTTP::uri]" Aaron

Thanks Aaron - depending on what time of day (or night) it is I quite often forget if the / is included in the uri or not. Appreciate the correction. Hope it helps Andrew get the result he's after. N

thanks for the responses guys and i tried it but i am still seeing the same results. Here is the irule i am using when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } { HTTP::redirect "/analytics[HTTP::uri]" log local0. "redirect" } } the initial redirect still works but not when it is in the dashboard links like explained above. Any more suggestions? Thanks

Hi Brown, Could you try HTTP::redirect "https://mybicrt.company.com/analytic[HTTP::uri]" Abdul

redirect irule

our old application url that pointed to the F5 vip was mybicrt.company.com. The new code is mybicrt.company.com/analytics. i created the following that achieves that part of it

~~when HTTP_REQUEST {~~

~~if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } {~~

~~HTTP::redirect "/analytics/"~~

~~log local0. "redirect"~~

}

now the problem is that users have links to dashboards saved that look like this

~~https://mybicrt.company.com/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executive~~

~~and we need them to redirect to~~

~~https://mybicrt.company.com/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executive~~

basically the irule we have setup stops at analytics and I need a way to add /analytics after mybicrt.compan.com but keep the rest of the url there. Also there are a ton of dashboard links that are all different.

is this possible.

Thanks

Andrew

Andrew,

Have you tried...

HTTP::redirect "/analytics/[http::uri]"

See if that works.

Thank you but still not working.

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } { HTTP::redirect "https://mybicrt11g.cerner.com/analytics[HTTP::uri]" log local0. "redirect" } }

Any other suggestions?

Perhaps you should be using [HTTP::path] instead of [HTTP::uri] to include the variables from the dashboard?

Thanks Brian but still same issue.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } {

HTTP::redirect "https://mybicrt11g.cerner.com/analytics[HTTP::path]"

log local0. "redirect"

}

}

Is this ever possible?

When you say it's not working, can you clarify what's happening? You can use a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler to check the requests/responses the client sees. You could also uncomment the log statement in the iRule to see if the HTTP::path check is matching. Also, do you see any errors in /var/log/ltm?

so mybicrt.company.com redirects to mybicrt11g.company/analytics. that part works fine but when it needs to be inserted into dashboard like

https://mybicrt.company.com/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executive

it gets a page can't be displayed and i see nothing in the logs when i try to redirect like this

https://mybicrt.company.com/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortlPath/shared/Executive/_portal/Executive

Not sure what's going on with it.
