url redirection with SSL offload
I have set up and F5 to test it against my companies software. A lot of our customers have F5's and often ask for advice on setting it up.
I have been able to configure it for standard HTTP load balancing, SSL using SSL bridging and layer 4 with no issues. The one configuration I am stuck with is SSL offload.
The way our software works is this: If a user connects on port 80, thy will get redirected to port 4248 for authentication and then back to 80 once authenticated. If a user connects on 443 (ssl) they get redirected to port 4244 for authentication and then back to 443 once authenticated.
The issue I believe if the client is receiving a redirect URL for 4248 when they need to get one for 4244. So I suspect from reading here I will need a rule to rewrite the url's. Does that sound likely?
If so how do I go about this? The url is going to look something like this:
http://192.168.203.103:4248/windows_authentication/?targetId=08c9a54f-59fc-42da-b4b3-fca1dd63adfd
and needs to be:
https://192.168.203.103:4244/windows_authentication/?targetId=08c9a54f-59fc-42da-b4b3-fca1dd63adfd
which will then of course be redirected internally from by the F5 back to 4248.
Thanks all !
