HTTP Uri redirect after APM Policy

Hello All,

 

I've went through few posts on devcentral for executing HTTP_REQUEST after APM Policy, But none worked for me. So here is the situation,

 

I have got service running at https://my.company.com/SERVICE. But i need users to hit https://my.company.com/test/service and then i redirect them to https://my.company.com/SERVICE.

 

But the problem is i'm using branch rules in APM for "Source IP and Uri" lookup. Say Source IP is 100.X.X.X & URI i'm looking for is /test/service.

 

When i use redirection irule, HTTP_REQUEST executes before APM and when it reaches APM policy, the URI will be /SERVICE and APM will deny the request since its looking for /test/service.

 

I tried [ACCESS::policy result] eq "allow" but it didn't seem to work. Can someone provide me a full irule for this requirement.

 

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance

    just an option, you can do redirect from the visual policy editor, would that work for you?

    Hi,

     

    Do you want to only rewrite first request or all requests.

     

    when working with events ACCESS_SESSION_STARTED, ACCESS_POLICY_COMPLETED and ACCESS_POLICY_AGENT_EVENT and with VPE operations, action is executed once during policy evaluation, but not for all following requests.

     

    If you want to execute a code for all requests, you can use HTTP_REQUEST (before APM evaluation) or ACCESS_ACL_ALLOWED (after APM evaluation)

     

    if you want to rewrite HTTP request URI and response data, you can use a rewrite profile instead of irules.
