https to 8081 redirection

Hi,

 

I have a requirement of doing an client ssl offload on the BIG-IP and then redirect it to port 8081.

 

For eg: a user will enter in the browser https://a.b.c.d then big-ip will offload it and should redirect it to http://a.b.c.d:8081/sm/index.do

 

I will appreciate help on this case, as Iam very new to writing an irule.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mubasher

    I assume the port member is listening on port 8081? If that's the case there is no need to specify the port in the redirect; 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
 if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {
 HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/sm/index.do"
 }
}

    i think you mean uri rewriting rather than redirection.

    e.g. 

    [root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.19.252:443
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      clientssl {
         clientside
      }
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   members 200.200.200.101:8081 {}
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/" } {
      HTTP::uri "/sm/index.do"
   }
}
}

 test

[root@ve10:Active] config  ssldump -Aed -nni 0.0 port 443 or port 8081 -k /config/ssl/ssl.key/default.key
