URL redirect to multiple paths

Hi. I have a request for a host name (example.123.com) that I need to redirect to 2 different paths. If a user types https://example.123.com I need to redirect it to https://example.123.com/loginpage1. This part I did with a traffic policy rule. Using the same VIP if someone types in https://example.123.com/loginpage2 it needs to go to the same server only to a different login page.

 

This what I'm using for a Policy Rule Conditions Operand Event Selector Negate Condition Values http-host Request all equals example.123.com http-uri Request path not contain /loginpage1/

 

Actions Target Event Actions Parameters http-uri Request Replace Path /loginpage1/

 

If I browse to the host and add /loginpage2 as the path it follows the rule and sends me to /loginpage1/. So my questions are 1.Can this be done in one or more policy rules and I'm just not doing it right or 2.Should it be done with an iRule and I am not good with irules.

 

Any feedback is appreciated

    I haven't worked much with policies but iRule should be able to help you out. If you are looking to redirect, you should be able to use something like this:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::host] eq "example.123.com") } {
if { ([HTTP::uri] eq "/") or ([HTTP::uri] eq "/loginpage2") } {
HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://example.123.com/loginpage1"
}
}
}

    If you are just looking to replace the URI and send it directly to server instead of a redirect:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::host] eq "example.123.com") } {
if { ([HTTP::uri] eq "/") or ([HTTP::uri] eq "/loginpage2") } {
HTTP::uri /loginpage1
}
}
}
