Server is redirecting from https to http

I am a newbie to iRules. I have a problem that is opposite of everyone else in this forum. My client is using https://virtualserver.address to connect to my Virtual Server. I configured my VS with port 443 and SSL profile; however, my application server is running on port 8555. I configured my server pool members with port 8555. When the application server returning the data, it redirects to http://virtualserver.address and it fails.

 

 

Please help!

    Can you enable rewriting of redirects and retest? For more info, you can check the config guide for your version on AskF5.com.

    Hi Aaron,

     

    Yes I tried that, but it only worked for the first request (see output from httpwatch below). It didn't rewrite and redirect for the second request, which is the login page. I would like for it to rewrite/redirect every transaction during the session.

     

     

    Thanks,

    I'm not sure why the rewriting wouldn't work for subsequent responses. Is the second request (to /processLogin.do) on the same TCP connection as the first one which is rewritten correctly?
