Qualys scan fails when using a irule to redirect...

Can anyone assist?

 

 

I am redirecting "exampledomain.com" to "www.exampledomain.com". To do this, I have a VIP configured for exampledomain.com and another for www.exampledomain.com.

 

 

exampledomain.com vip has an irule configured as a resource. The VIP is only open to tcp/80. The iRule redirects an HTTP request as follows:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

check for exampledomain.com

 

if { [HTTP::host] == "exampledomain.com" and [HTTP::uri] == "/" }{

 

when browser comes in with only exampledomain.com redirect

 

to a www.exampledomain.com

 

HTTP::redirect http://www.exampledomain.com

 

 

and everything works just fine, browser gets redirected, no problem.

 

 

now the issue...

 

 

Qualys is performing a scan of the IP address assigned to the "exampledomain.com" VIP (PCI compliance requirement...) and can't complete the scan at all. Their tools indicate "Web Server Stopped Responding".

 

 

Is anyone performing a similar redirect? Any insight as to what may/may not be happening during an external vulnerability scan that would lead to such an error and would prevent the scan from completing?

 

 

Any help would be welcome...!

 

 

Thank You.
