    Hi VJ,

    You can check the URI (everything after the hostname[:port] in the URL) using HTTP::uri or the path (URI minus the query string) using HTTP::path. You can rewrite the URI and path with these same commands. Or you can send a 302 redirect using HTTP::redirect.

    If you want to redirect all requests to / to /irj/portal, you can use: 

      
  when HTTP_REQUEST {  
    
      Check requested URI  
     if {[HTTP::uri] eq "/"}{  
    
         Redirect client  
        HTTP::redirect "https://abc-a-xyz.corp/irj/portal"  
     }  
  }

    Aaron,

     

     

    Thanks for your reply. Assume yow want me to apply this irule to all both VIP's.

     

     

    i.e. 10.10.10.10:80 & 10.10.10.:443.

     

     

    Please advise?

     

     

    TIA

    That's correct. The rule can be applied to all VIPs where you want to redirect the client from / to the URL.

     

     

    Note that I incorrectly had the event for the rule set to CLIENT_ACCEPTED. That needs to be HTTP_REQUEST instead.
